Communications Interns

Overview

Photography and videography bring our stories to life. Interns do much of our visual storytelling work for the college, bringing them into the studios of our faculty and students.

Stories take us behind the scenes to the places our students and faculty live, study and work every day.

Curating content for social media means going out to find and create it. We spend much of our time outside the office to capture what really happens every day in the College of the Arts.

Interns are at the forefront of storytelling in our college, interviewing professors and students about the work they do every day in the studios, practice rooms, stages, and abroad.

Engaging our alumni and friends is an important aspect of our communications strategies. College of the Arts alumni bring their experience out into the world—often to become famous TV stars (like Beth Dover and DaJuan Johnson here), renowned artists and prominent educators.

We are storytellers, capturing the everyday and the future of the University of Florida College of the Arts. Our job is to be the college's writers, photographers, videographers, designers, social media gurus, marketers, and strategists.

Interns take on a variety of projects with the college's strategic communications team, including:

Writing stories on student activities, faculty research, alumni accomplishments, supporters' generosity, and college initiatives
Curating multimedia stories and content for social media and web
Managing the college's flagship social media platforms to engage a variety of audiences
Capturing the work of our college through photo and video content
Marketing events to build audiences at art exhibitions, music performances, guest lecturers, theatre shows, and dance productions
Assisting with special events, such as receptions and gatherings for alumni and supporters
