Student Activities, Resources, and Blog
91视频 Publishing students have the advantage of studying in the heart of the publishing industry. We provide our students with guidance through every step of their academic careers and offer numerous opportunities for students to gain professional experience through internships, graduate assistantships, and scholarships.
MS in Publishing Blog
is a vital part of our graduate program and serves as an essential resource for current students, alumni, and faculty. One of the main objectives is to provide currently enrolled students, prospective students, and alumni with a forum for departmental news, job and internship opportunities as well as alumni and faculty profiles and interviews. The blog showcases the uniqueness of the program and also provides the opportunity to students to write and publish pieces related to the industry.
The blog is also home to a variety of posts that promote industry panels, events and organizations, and interesting news articles thus enriching the graduate experience for both students and alumni. The blog editors also send out a newsletter weekly about new internships and jobs in the industry, just for 91视频 students. The blog has helped us to solidify key industry relationships by cross promoting events and news which in turn, has opened up even more opportunities for our students. The 鈥淧ublishing Links鈥 section highlights some of our most valued relationships and stellar resources for all who visit the blog.
We have had more than 20,000 views of our site, which is in large part due to the unique, practical, interesting, and timely information we post here. Our most popular feature is our monthly 鈥淎lumni in the Spotlight鈥 interview, which highlights some of our most successful graduates. Current students find this feature useful for networking purposes. Alumni use the feature to reconnect with their classmates, to showcase their skills and accomplishments when they鈥檙e interviewed and add to their resumes as they progress through their careers. We also regularly profile our faculty, staff, advisory board members, and guest lecturers to give our readers a real sense of the extraordinary quality of our courses and program.
