If have a student chapter, you could try to co-host some kind of event with them. Even without a student chapter, you could still utilize them as a resource. @Sean: You've inspired a future topic about unpaid internships. Thanks! For the workshops, there is a limit of two students assistants for each. Yours truly is already locked in for video narratives. @Karah-Leigh@ Do you have a local SPJ pro chapter?

I think the most important skill is not landing the internship, but balancing the unpaid internship with the rest of your life. Therefore, I would advise students to jump all over the video narratives sessions. Thanks for the shameless plug.

We do get to attend the Georgia College Press Association Awards each Feb. where there's a lot of workshops and chances to mingle with professionals. I wish VSU hosted events like this but no luck.
