Penguin Group (USA) Internship - Summer 2010

Congratulations to Kristen Susienka (Alpha Tau Chapter, St. Norbert College, WI), the recipient of the Sigma Tau Delta/Penguin Group (USA) Summer 2010 Internship!

A paid summer internship opportunity is available from Penguin Group (USA) to provide an interested undergraduate student member of Sigma Tau Delta with experience in a variety of areas in publishing. Job responsibilities may involve editing, design, and marketing, among other possibilities.

The Sigma Tau Delta/Penguin Group (USA) Summer Internship will run ten consecutive weeks at 375 Hudson Street, New York, NY,10014. Exact dates will be determined by agreement between the recipient and Penguin Group (USA). The recipient will work 28 hours per week and will be paid $7.25 an hour. For the 2010 summer internship, Sigma Tau Delta will provide the recipient with an additional $1,500 stipend to assist with travel and housing expenses.

Individual colleges and universities may arrange for academic credit for the internship but that must be worked out between the student and her/his university.

The recipient of the internship will be responsible for securing and paying for housing as well as other expenses. Each applicant must be prepared to accept the internship and its conditions if it is awarded to her/him. Failure to do so may jeopardize the continuation of the Penguin Group (USA) summer internship program for Sigma Tau Delta.

Interested undergraduate student members of Sigma Tau Delta must submit a current resume along with a two to three page letter addressing the applicant's qualifications and interest in the field of publishing.
