Here’s an Opportunity You Don’t Want to Pass Up: UNI Communications Students Looking for Internships in Iowa Districts

The University of Northern Iowa understands that Iowa school districts are facing unprecedented challenges. UNI students in the Department of Communication Studies are also facing a crisis as their internship opportunities dwindle away. They would like to help you!

As UNI students are home until fall, they could be a valuable resource to K-12 schools as they get back to a new normal. These students are required to have internships prior to graduation and most are unpaid experiences. Organizations only have to sign-off on hours and fill out a midterm and final evaluation for their intern. They encompass majors in Public Relations, Digital Media, General Communication and Political Communication. The internship could include work in the following areas and more:

• Help districts navigate messages to audiences (faculty, staff and public)
• Develop and manage social media plans
• Develop and update content for websites, website design
• Help in design and dissemination of crisis and emergency communication
• Video and audio production and editing
• Write press releases
• Photography
• Update promotional materials
• Write for digital, magazines, newspapers or special event publications
