Work-Study and Internships
Attention EMU students! Interested in beefing up your resume? Join the team that helps tell the EMU story! Each semester our office employs “communications assistants” in work-study or intern roles from a variety of majors and academic programs, like language and literature and visual and communication arts.
We especially need intern or work-study help in the following areas. Students normally cross-train in two or three of these areas:
- graphic design (Adobe In-Design)
- basic web publishing (familiar with updating Facebook or a blog?)
- photography
- writing and research
- video production (Final Cut pro)
