Are you an English major (or a major in another discipline) who is interested in an internship that puts your critical thinking and writing skills to good use? Do you want to learn more about coordinating interdisciplinary activities for campus and community audiences?

The Institute for the Study of Culture & Society supports faculty collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and serves as an incubator for innovative research and teaching. ICS supports the academic goals of the University by helping faculty to develop, communicate, and disseminate their scholarly and creative work to constituencies across campus and throughout the region. With our public events and outreach efforts, we bring issues of vital national and global importance to Northwest Ohio, and, in turn, bring community knowledge back into the university.

Interns at ICS work approximately 10 hours a week in the ICS offices, planning ICS Fellows talks, workshops, the Spring Speaker Series, and other high-impact events. ICS Intern tasks and responsibilities may also include:

• Drafting text for emails, press releases, invitation letters, posters, and other essential documents
• Planning, scheduling, and publicizing events, including the Spring Speaker Series and Scholars- and Artists-in-Residence Fellowship lectures
• Updating the ICS website and social media accounts
• Coordinating schedules among various constituents across campus
• Creating itineraries for visiting speakers
• Reserving rooms and preparing for events across and off-campus
• Scheduling meetings with ICS Fellows, interdisciplinary research clusters, and ICS Executive Board members
• Collecting and organizing ICS Fellowship applications and Executive Board nominations
• Archiving ICS documents on Scholarworks
• Updating activity reports on research clusters

ICS interns are eligible to take ENG 4890 (ENG 5890 for graduate students) or AS 4890 (AS 5890) for up to three credit hours; students may be able to continue interning for a second semester. If they would prefer to do the internship without course credit, students may sign up for COOP 050, and the internship will still appear on their transcript.
Interns must have basic Microsoft Office skills; familiarity with Adobe Acrobat and/or Photoshop are preferred skills.

Application Materials are due March 20, 2017. Please submit via email to ics@bgsu.edu the following:
