Want to write a blog?

Thu, 02 Dec 2010 10:40:00 -0500

StudentAffairs.com is looking for one or two graduate students to write our weekly blog for the 2011 Student Affairs Job Hunt.

Interested graduate students should submit one writing sample that would be in line with what would appear on the Student Affairs Job Hunt as opposed to simply a writing sample from a course or a personal blog.

Send your sample to Stuart Brown at Stuart@StudentAffairs.com by Monday, January 10, 2011. The blog will begin Monday, January 17, 2011.

There is a small stipend and the blog will be anonymous to give students more freedom in writing about their experiences. We am looking for individuals that can write interesting, fun, enlightening, edgy, eye-opening blogs. This would take someone who is not afraid to keep a blog and who is a good, creative writer. Students can get an idea of what we am looking for by clicking on the link to our Student Affairs Job Hunt page and reading entries from past Student Affairs Job Hunt blogs.

If you have any questions, please contact Stuart Brown at Stuart@StudentAffairs.com
