The Smart Campus Initiative is seeking student interns interested in joining the Bowman’s Friends Student Media team providing “student life” content surrounding campus for our social media pages as well as producing and promoting podcasts. The interns will be responsible for the creation, edition, production, and/or scheduling of the podcast, and/or other social media content. We’re looking for students to add their own personality, enthusiasm, and ideas to our podcasts. Some of the content will be provided through UKNow and Wildcat Rundown. The students will continue with the podcast platform, regular cadence of shows, and provide a student perspective on fun, interesting, and need-to-know happenings at UK and in the surrounding community.

The overall goals of the podcast are to:
1. Build an interest and following of UK Students.
2. Provide a student perspective on events and news that affect campus and the community.
3. Offer students an internship opportunity to gain skills and experience in production, broadcasting, communicating, and technology.
4. Create community and partnerships among the Smart Campus Initiative, the College of Communication and Information faculty and students, UKPR, and ITS.
5. Use the podcast to draw attention to university and campus resources for students.

The ideal intern(s) will have an interest in podcasts, technology, content creation, and/or editing. Applicants should have an innovative, problem-solving, and curious mindset. Interns will be expected to take initiative and work independently while also having a positive attitude and a collaborative spirit. Students seeking for an internship opportunity will need to complete the 150-internship hours.

The individual should have excellent communication, organization, and research skills with the ability to follow department procedures/policies, work independently, and collaborate among peers.
