The Center also offers programming for faculty, grad students and undergraduates plus an extensive grants program.
Internship Details
Undergraduate Intern: The Center is seeking a Carolina undergraduate student to work during the academic year to help promote the Center’s activities and academic programs to undergraduates. We need an outgoing student who can attend campus events, visit classrooms to give brief presentations, prepare printed and digital marketing materials, and create short videos and social media posts. Our undergraduate intern must be independent, reliable, creative and interested in promoting Jewish studies events, courses and the major/minors. The schedule is very flexible to accommodate class schedule, but the student must be available to attend some events and visit Jewish studies classrooms during the school year. The undergrad internship offers $14.00 per hour. The number of work hours will vary each week, but will average 2-4 hours per week, September 2024 through April 2025. This is a hybrid position but ideally the student will be available to attend our evening events, see our website for the schedule.
