BeVocal Marketing Internship (Longhorn Wellness Center)
The Division of Student Affairs Internship Program allows students to spend a summer handling a special project for the university designed to prepare them for life after graduation. Interns will work 19 hours per week for 10-weeks. These part-time internship positions offer a competitive compensation package that includes an hourly wage. Due to COVID-19, we are currently planning for each of our internships to take place virtually. Housing assistance may be provided on a case by case basis after internship positions are offered. Undergraduate students are eligible to apply. The internship runs from May 31, 2021 to August 6, 2021. The application is due February 14, 2021.
*Undergraduate students must be enrolled in the Spring 2021 semester to be eligible.
The Office
The Longhorn Wellness Center (LWC) supports the missions of University Health Services and the Counseling and Mental Health Center by addressing priority college health issues. We do this using multi-level, evidence-based prevention strategies such as peer education, social marketing, social norm campaigns, environmental changes, and strategic campus partnerships.
BeVocal is a university-wide initiative to promote the idea that individual Longhorns have the power to prevent high-risk behavior and harm. Reinforcing bystander intervention strategies across a range of issues will increase the odds of a UT student, staff or faculty member intervening to prevent harm as well as create a culture of caring for each other's well-being.
The Project
The BeVocal Marketing Intern will develop social media campaigns with messages and web content to promote BeVocal. The intern will develop and edit material and updates for the website or other communication channels. The intern will create outreach materials as needed, such as infographics. They will also strategize with professional and student staff to improve engagement with BeVocal programming.
