2021-22 Center for Poetry Internship

The RCAH Center for Poetry at MSU seeks up to four student interns for the 2021-22 academic year. We are looking for undergraduate students (sophomore-senior) with excellent organizational skills and an interest in poetry, writing, and/or literature. Experience in graphic and/or web design, photography/video, and social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, are desirable but not required.

 This is an unpaid internship offering rich experience and mentoring in areas such as public relations/communication, event planning, contest administration, and community engagement, and may be optionally taken for academic credit. Interns can expect to work 4-6 hours per week. Regular hours are scheduled around each intern's availability and fall on weekdays between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. with occasional evening hours required to staff visiting writer events.

The RCAH Center for Poetry at MSU is committed to equality of opportunity and is nondiscriminatory relative to race, ethnicity, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, age, gender, gender identity, disability, height, marital status, political persuasion, sexual orientation, veteran status, or weight.

To apply: Please send a resume and cover letter to Laurie Hollinger at hollin53@msu.edu by Friday, April 2. Interviews will be held virtually during the week of May 3, 2021.

Note: If MSU has resumed in-person classes and public events, job location will be in Snyder Phillips Hall; otherwise, positions will be remote.
