News Detail

SUNY Cortland’s Communications Office is looking for student interns to write university press releases and feature articles aimed at the campus community and the general public.

This competitive internship is a great portfolio builder. At the end of the semester, you'll have 12 to 18 published, professional-caliber articles that help engage fellow students in campus life and promote SUNY Cortland.

Demonstrated prior college writing experience is necessary. Interns must be enthusiastic critical thinkers with good interviewing and research skills, and a clean writing style. We encourage students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds to apply.

Interns commit to scheduling nine hours weekly (three credit) during open hours, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at the Communications Office in Brockway Hall.

If interested, please send three of your best writing samples, your resume and a cover letter to administrative assistant Christina DiGiusto at Brockway Hall, Room 318-A, or christina.digiusto@cortland.edu. You can reach her at 607-753-2232 with questions or to check on your submission. You will be contacted to update your internship candidate status. Writing samples may consist of published news or feature articles, sample press releases written for a public relations class, or course compositions in any discipline.

This is a competitive internship opportunity. We’ll contact you very soon to let you know about next steps, including whether we wish to proceed with a necessary interview.
