Themester

Themester is searching for interns to help close out the program’s fifteen year run with the College of Arts and Sciences. This fall semester’s theme is Lux et Veritas | Light and Truth. Inspired by IU’s motto, this theme will explore the nature of truth and inquiry. Interns that are interested in learning more about how we know what we know, and how we grapple as individuals and communities with various forms of knowledge, are encouraged to apply.

Within the Communications and Outreach internship, there is a wide range of opportunities and experiences for interns to customize their internship experience. Past interns have directed the Themester podcast, managed tabling at the First Thursdays Festival, led Themester partnered screenings and Q&A sessions at IU Cinema, wrote articles and newsletters for Themester events and partnerships, edited the Themester webpage, interviewed professors of Themester sponsored courses, curated posts for Themester’s social media pages, and even worked as leadership at weekly intern meetings.

A large portion of this experience is working alongside the Communications and Outreach interns in order to implement a social media plan and outreach strategies. Promotional material designed by past interns have been used for social media posts, event programs, flyers, posters, and print advertising.

Alongside individualized tasks and assignments, interns are encouraged to attend Themester events as a representative of the program. This allows interns to further develop their understanding of the semester’s theme as well as practice working with event coordinators and attendees to ensure a smooth and successful event.
