Course description: Each semester, ScIU offers an undergraduate social media internship where students can earn course credit through MSCH-X472 (Media School), ASCS-X373 (College of Arts and Sciences), or as an independent study under their lab PIs. In this this internship, you will learn how science communicators are using different social media platforms to disseminate scientific information, learn how to distill and disperse information from primary research articles to audiences of all levels across multiple digital formats, and assist with the facilitation of ScIU’s social media platforms on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, with daily posts and interactions with our audience. Interns work with the Social Media Chair to create and implement campaigns; develop content calendars on a weekly and monthly basis for the blog’s posts and public engagements; monitor analytics with the social media team to identify viable ideas; create engaging blog and social media content; assist in the general distribution of blog post releases and media alerts; and write blog posts as special guest contributors! This is an online internship, Fall 2023 team meetings will be Mon/Weds on Zoom but there is flexibility in the schedule if necessary.
