The UIC Office of Undergraduate Research seeks a digital communications and social media intern for the spring semester 2018. This internship is unpaid but could be structured to meet the requirements of a for-credit professional internship program in the major or degree-granting college or serve as an Honors College activity, with an appropriate advisor's approval.
The student will work with the OUR 3-12 hours per week to find and publicize research and creative engagement opportunities for undergraduates and might help organize, publicize and assess the impact of in-person events in comparison to online events and resources. Those interested in graphic or digital design could make posters, brochures and web pages, depending on their skill set. This would be an ideal opportunity for someone interested in digital media communications, social media, event planning, graphic or digital design, and academic affairs and student success initiatives (higher education). The duties will be assigned to maximally benefit the student's educational goals.
