  • $12.50 per hour

The Liberal Arts and Management Program (LAMP) is seeking an engaged, energetic and curious student from either of our programs (M+HO major or Honors Certificate) to intern for the spring 2022 semester (with possible extension to 2022-2023 school year).

The intern will assist the LAMP staff with a variety of tasks, including:

  • Creating and publishing content on our website and social media channels (50% of job)
    • Content includes but is not limited to student features, alumni features, faculty and class profiles, marketing materials, newsletters, alumni mailings, and regular social media posts
  • Planning for, executing, and following-up on virtual and in-person events with students, faculty, staff, prospective students, alumni, and community members
  • Continuing to develop our alumni communications strategy through data collection, outreach, and events
  • Assisting LAMP staff with daily operations as needed
  • Working with our Student Advisory Board in their social programming and advising role

Skills you can learn and take with you:

  • Customer Relationship Management software (we use Salesforce and Marketing Cloud)
    • Direct email marketing
    • Email design, photo editing, graphic creation
    • Minimal HTLM editing
  • Website editing and publishing
  • Writing and interviewing experience, networking
    • LinkedIn, Email, phone and Zoom
  • Social media content creation and management
    • Integrated social strategy for LAMP Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts
  • Event ideation, planning, management, and follow-up within budgetary constraints
  • Interpersonal skills from communicating with our students, staff, faculty, campus partners, alumni, parents, and community
  • Recruiting new students, brainstorming strategy, creatively executing plans, and providing analysis
  • Promotional item inventory, brainstorming, ordering and budgeting
  • Database management; Excel acumen
  • Much more!

A student with content creation, media production, graphic design and video editing experience would be excellent addition to the team, but of course those skills can be learned quickly on the job by the right person. The ability to write well is crucial to flourishing in this role, as many of your tasks will require interview features, internal and external emails, web content, and internal records. Students with minimal experience but an excited-to-learn attitude are welcome to apply. The student intern will have some flexibility in defining goals and interests and scope of their work, in discussion with the LAMP staff. The intern will work most directly with our Program Coordinator but will often interface with and assist our Director and Associate Director.

Interested students should direct questions to LAMP@iu.edu. Application materials can be submitted here. Review of applications will begin on December 10th and continue until the position is filled. Students who apply should attach a copy of their spring 2022 academic, work, and extracurricular schedule. We understand that it might change as the semester starts, but a general idea of availability within business hours will be helpful in selecting the right candidate.
