We have a variety of internships available, and will begin accepting applications in August 2019. Read more about each of the internships we offer:
Hillman Interns (supported by the Anne and Charles Hillman Student Intern Fund) have the largest time commitment and greatest involvement with the Institute’s events and programs. Hillman Interns create and promote Prindle events, contribute content to The Prindle Post, help with educational outreach, or create their own individual projects.
Prindle Post staff writers contribute weekly content for The Prindle Post in the form of ethics in the news articles and op eds. Staff writers are strong writers with an ability to keep up with and analyze current events and culture.
The first-year internship program is uniquely suited for new DePauw students who want to immediately get involved with the Institute’s work. First-year interns will receive mentorship from Hillman Interns and Prindle’s full-time staff, assist with events and event promotion, and gather necessary skills to be successful in the Hillman Internship, the staff writer program, and beyond.
Students who are passionate about photography and/or graphic design and want to showcase their talents at Prindle should contact Christiane Wisehart (christianewisehart@depauw.edu) for information about any open positions in those areas.
