Communications Intern— UVM Department of History
Job Description:
The Department of History is seeking a sophomore or first-semester junior History major as a Communications Intern. History minors and students from other departments may apply but, it should be noted, that preference will be given to history majors. The Communications Intern works with the department’s chair on alumni and student outreach, social media, the departmental newsletter, and website content (among other things). This is a paid internship but students who choose to can also receive academic credit for this position. The goal is to hire an intern who will work with the department over the next several semesters. During spring 2020, the new intern will be trained by the department’s current Communications Intern.

- Have knowledge about the discipline of history and the history department at UVM

Applying:
To apply, please submit:

Applications are due by Friday, January 17th and should be submitted to Professor Paul Deslandes by e-mail (paul.deslandes@uvm.edu).
Interviews for the internship will be conducted during the week of January 20th, with a hope that the new Communications intern will be in place and ready to begin work by the end of January.
