We need more guest columnists

The State News is looking for guest columnists for the summer and fall 2012 semesters. Guest columnists aren’t required to come into the office, so working from your hometown or an internship where you will be spending your summer is perfectly acceptable. This is not a paid position, but it is great for building writing skills and your portfolio.

Columnists are required to submit a column about a topic of their choice, which will be subject to approval and editing every other Sunday. Columnists must be current students enrolled for Fall 2012 or current professors.

If you’re interested or have any questions, email The State News opinion editor at opinion@statenews.com by April 19. Please include any prior writing experience, your summer employment plans and two to three writing samples.
