Who can apply?

Body

These positions are not dependent on work study awards and are open to any current undergraduate student!

Previous photo and/or video experience is needed for this role, so we do require a portfolio be included in your application for consideration.

Positions are posted through UVM's JobX portal when available. However, we encourage you to reach out with your portfolio even if we are not currently hiring (you can reach us at slmedia@uvm.edu) so we can reach out when positions do become available. 

What will I learn?

Body

Becoming part of our team is a great opportunity to build out your portfolio while developing real-world career skills around collaboration, communication, and time management.

In this role, you'll build on existing creative and technical skills through use of new equipment, collaboration and feedback from colleagues, and experience with new types of shoots. Alongside this, members of this team will become practiced with project management, client communication and outreach, and inter-team collaboration with other members of the Student Life marketing staff. We aim to provide an employment experience that allows you to gain new skills that will better prepare you for future jobs after graduation (whether they're in media production or otherwise)!
