Social Media Intern at Office of Public Affairs, Spring 2010
The Office of Public Affairs is looking for a social media intern who will help promote and shape the university online and social media community experience for the college, primarily associated with strategic recruitment and marketing communications. By providing daily interaction with others, monitoring mentions of the college, answering questions and providing content, this intern will gain a greater understanding of the marketing applications of communities while learning about the varied social and academic offerings provided by SUNY New Paltz. The social media intern serves as an online ambassador particularly to prospective student audiences using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other emerging social-media spaces.
Ideal candidates will possess in depth knowledge and strong demonstrable experience with Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and understand the intersecting capabilities of each. They will be self motivated, outgoing and prepared to professionally interact with others on behalf of the university.
The intern will work with the Director of Web Communication & Strategic Projects to fulfill social media posting and interaction requests; upload photos and videos; prepare text, print, and other goods for the promotion of New Paltz’s social networks; be an active and visible presence at select events by tweeting live, taking pictures and video, interacting with students and preparing final editorial, pictorial and video of each.
Interesting candidates should send their letter of interest and experience to Rachel Reuben, Director of Web Communication & Strategic Projects at reubenr@newpaltz.edu.
