Interns at Brand & Creative can expect to contribute by editing, proofreading, writing, and source checking for a variety of projects from across campus, including weekly devotional addresses, college alumni magazines, and fundraising materials. Our team is welcoming and highly collaborative, and we look forward to playing lots of Boggle and taste-testing the best food in Provo with you while we help you improve your editing skills and prepare for future employment.
