Intern Position: The English Blog

The position to moderate this blog for the Spring 2019 semester is now accepting applications!

The English Department is seeking applications for a 3-credit internship for Spring 2019. The intern will create bi-weekly English Department blog posts, update the website, post about the department to social media, keep an internship journal, create an ePortfolio of your work, write a reflection essay about the experience, and perform other duties to promote the department as needed, including possibly critiquing the department’s existing promotional efforts. The intern will report to the English Department chair (Dr. Decker will be chair Spring 2019 while Dr. Entzminger serves as interim APSCUF president).

Requirements:
• Minimum 60 credits and 3.0 GPA by end of spring 2018
• English Major in Literature, Creative Writing, or Professional Writing and Digital Rhetoric Track
 • Strong writing skills
• Experience creating blog posts and editing web pages
• No previous internship credits
• Good work ethic and initiative

To apply, send a cover letter and resume explaining why you are interested in the position and detailing your qualifications by December 2, 2018 to Dr. Decker at mdecker@bloomu.edu. In addition, ask one BU professor to email a letter of recommendation on your behalf to Dr. Decker.

We anticipate offering the internship again for a different student in Fall 2019.

The student will work 8-10 hours per week throughout the semester and earn 3 internship credits. The student will be supervised by the English Department Chairperson.

Have any questions about the position?  Please email Dr. Decker (mdecker@bloomu.edu) to inquire further.
