Internships
Become a Miami University Hillel Intern
Join the dynamic and innovation Hillel team through the new 2009-2010 Internship program.
Creative Design Internship:
This intern would be primarily responsible for making Hillel appealing and exciting to the Miami campus by utilizing a range of media and technology. Their responsibilities would include advertising for events (facebook, e-mail, etc) and creating marketable resources for new and current students about Jewish life at Miami (a brochure, YouTube video, etc). Any additional responsibilities are at the discretion of our director, Rabbi Rachel Gartner. Facility with e-communication required. Someone with experience working in graphic design, or art is preferable but not required.
Engagement:
In the absence of a JCSC fellow this year, Hillel is in need of an outgoing, energetic student who will be primarily responsible for engaging and contacting Jewish students at Miami. Their responsibilities would include having regular hours for tabling or coffee uptown in order to talk with students and encourage programming, as well as being present at all Hillel events unless there is an urgent conflict. Any additional responsibilities are at the discretion of our director, Rabbi Rachel Gartner.
Special Projects (Mini Internships):
A new and exciting idea this year invented by our very own director! Hillel is looking special project interns from a variety of backgrounds. Each intern will put together a program based on his or her interests. An example could be a Literature major bringing in a Jewish author to give a talk about a recent book, an art student could create an exhibit of his/her work in our building, a business major could give a talk on business ethics and Jewish text or a band could have a rock concert in our backyard with Israeli music. The options are endless! There will be a second application for all program proposals. In addition, each student selected will receive a $100 budget to complete his or her program as well as $200 compensation.
