Editing
Position Description:
One of the most basic yet most crucial jobs to the success of Student at Large, editing entails just that - editing pieces that are submitted every month. Each month we receive anywhere from 4-12 written pieces, all of which take only a few minutes to edit. Thus, for maybe an hour of your time each month you can have an internship AND really help us out.
