Sisters,
Here is an opportunity to gain valuable experience while helping out Lambda Theta Alpha. I am offering 1- 2 sisters an opportunity for an internship that is guaranteed to provide you with valuable experience.
The internship entails the possibility of writing real news stories, press releases, and perhaps even some photography. With this internship you are guaranteed to have writing clips to present to employers and plenty of experience to discuss in interviews. This is a great opportunity to improve your skills for something you love: Lambda Theta Alpha.
I promise this is not an "assistant" job, or a position for grunt work. This will be real experience. This is not intended to be a shadow program for the NDPR position. I cannot stress enough how this opportunity will provide you with great experience and the possibility of great work samples. Plus, I promise to provide the interns with "lessons" and resources throughout the internship.
Why intern under the National Director of Public Relations? Well, I have experience in the field and have taught in one of the nation's top 10 journalism programs. At the University of Florida, I have taught Writing for Mass Communication and the Law of Mass Communication. While in these teaching assistantships, I helped students write for various forms of media and learned from top professionals the trends of the industry.
In addition, I worked for a large portion of my undergraduate for the Independent Florida Alligator, the nation's largest independent student newspaper. I worked at the Orlando Sentinel for several years and completed a newsroom internship with them. In addition, I worked with a News and Publications office at the University of Florida, where I honed my public relations skills.
If your school allows credit for internships, I will be more than willing to work with you to obtain these credits. If nothing else, the experience will be worth your while.
