Applications Due September 8, 2021

The Teaching Press is a project-directed, student-managed, interdisciplinary printing house that promotes community outreach through applied learning. Interns experience a real-world publishing environment in which to design, create, research, collaborate, implement, and execute a variety of client-led publications.

Each internship requires an average of 8-12 hours of work per week during the 14-week semester.
