> Facilitate small group discussions about writing
> Document and write about their experiences
> Expand their own creative writing portfolio
> Help document and promote YWC
Interested students should send a letter of interest detailing their experience writing, teaching, mentoring, and/or journalism (especially if you have any experience in video journalism) and a current resume to Dr. Stacey Waite at swaite2@unl.edu. Deadline to apply is Friday, May 1. Note that this internship is unpaid, though students can take an internship course for credit (ENGL 495).
