Join the Rebellion!


The Little Rebellion, the Communication & Media Department's online news publication, tabled in front of the Atrium on Monday, Nov. 15th from 12 - 2 p.m. Other than giving away candy to students who approached the table, TLR was promoting its website and its re-launch party on Thursday, Dec. 2nd from 7 - 9 p.m. in the College Terrace.

If you missed the table, don't worry! You can find out more information about The Little Rebellion by contacting Professor Nancy Heiz, heizn@newpaltz.edu, or visiting the website. It's a great way to get involved and to sharpen your writing skills. While browsing through internship postings, one of the unanimous qualities employers are looking for are strong writing skills. The Little Rebellion gives students the opportunity to submit stories for publication or if you're a Journalism or English major, you can even enroll in the class that manages the publication, Advanced Editing. If you get something published, you can also send it to a prospective internship employer as a writing sample!

So kill two birds with one stone and take a step further. Join the Rebellion!

Find an Internship for Spring 2011

While your busy choosing your classes for next semester, don't forget to see if you've got some time in your schedule for an internship. Keep in mind, some internships are extremely flexible and only require you to work 2-3 days/week or even work independently at home!

Whether you find an internship through the Facebook page or on your own, you must get departmental approval to receive school-credit.

There are 3 forms that must be filled out before you start your internship and 2 forms that must be filled out at the end of your internship. You can access these forms by going to the department's website on newpaltz.edu.

If you have any questions, do NOT be afraid to seek help! How else are you going to get the answer? Drop by Robert Miller's office in CSB 49 to get all your internship questions answered. His office hours are:
Monday 12:30 - 2:00
Tuesday 11:00 - 2:00
Thursday 12:30 - 1:30

or drop by the Communication and Media Department in CSB 51 from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. during the weekdays.
