Harvard Athletics Multimedia Intern

The Harvard University Department of Athletics is currently accepting applications for a 10-month internship in Athletics Multimedia, spanning from July of 2026 to May of 2027. The intern will report directly to the Multimedia Department and assist with coverage of the university's 42-sport varsity athletics program.

Harvard Athletics offers 42 varsity programs for men and women, more than any other Division I school in the United States. The college was the first to create an athletic association, as well as a committee to regulate campus sports. The primary standard has been success against its seven peer institutions in the Ivy League, where Crimson squads have won more than 400 titles since 1956. Harvard also has had notable achievements at the national level, collecting more than 140 team championships in sports ranging from ice hockey to lacrosse to fencing to crew. The Olympics, the planet's biggest sporting stage, has featured Harvard competitors ever since triple jumper James Connolly won the first gold medal at the inaugural 1896 event in Athens. The 2024 Summer Games in Paris had Crimson connections including Canadian hockey stars, Uzbek wrestlers, Haitian triple jumpers, Australian rowers, Nigerian shot putters and Philippine swimmers, to name a few.
