Writing internships available

It is not too late for students with strong writing skills from any academic discipline to apply for a writing internship position for 1-3 credit hours this fall. A variety of nonprofit organizations partner with the Writing Internship Program to provide service-learning and pre-professional experience to our students. Opportunities include social service, youth, cultural, and arts organizations. In addition, interns are needed to serve in the Iowa Downtown Economic Development Program through the Office of Community Engagement and Service-Learning. Students with a background in historical research, graphic design, cultural studies, environmental advocacy, health-related disciplines, government, social media, or youth services are especially encouraged to apply.

Requirements: Juniors with a 3.4 GPA or higher, or professor recommendation. Students should contact Carol Spaulding-Kruse, professor of English, at carol.spaulding@drake.edu to apply.
