Student Writer, NMU Marketing & Communications

We are seeking a student with solid writing skills who will prepare news/press releases for a variety of purposes. These include publicizing upcoming campus events, promoting student achievements, profiling interesting/accomplished individuals and covering general topics, as needed. Writing releases requires occasional interviews with relevant students, faculty and staff. The student writer's work will be posted on NMU's official news site, with possible extra mileage on NMU social media channels and in the alumni magazine.

The student writer will work under the direct supervision of the NMU news director. We are looking for someone who can commit about 8-10 hours per week during the academic year, beginning with the Fall 2025 semester in August.

The ideal candidate will have previous newswriting experience (high school newspaper, etc.), or can demonstrate strong nonfiction writing skills. Public relations majors who want to gain experience writing press releases are also highly encouraged to apply. Please submit three nonfiction writing samples (e.g. high school newspaper article, course papers, etc.), along with a cover letter and resume.
