The Department of Marketing Communications is seeking a new social media intern beginning this summer and through the 2019-2020 academic year.

We're looking for a creative self-starter who has a knack for writing copy and understands how important social media is to establish a strong brand identity. You'll do everything from planning and scheduling social media posts across various channels to working with statistics (an important skill in this field!) to analyzing news to help us improve and innovate!

Preferred Experience
 

  • Good working knowledge of social media in general as well as an awareness of how it can be part of a brand marketing strategy.

  • Proficient in Microsoft Excel and Word. 

Requirements
 
  • Available to work 30 hours per week in summer and 15 hours per week in the fall and spring semesters and, preferably, also during intersession. 
  • Incoming sophomore or junior preferred as our goal is for the student to work with our office through their senior year. With the breadth of duties involved in this position, ideally, we only turn over the position every two to three years. 

NOTE: This is a paid internship and, in the past, has qualified for credit (dependent on faculty approval)
