Intern at Texas Daily Newspaper Association

TDNA seeks an intern student to work with our Executive V.P. during the upcoming legislative session. The candidate should demonstrate a passionate interest in current events, politics and/or the political process.  Our emphasis is always “freedom of information” and our lobby efforts were pivotal in the passage of the free flow bill during the last session.  Next year, we will defend that bill, as well as prevent new “bad” bills from becoming law.

Although we cannot offer a salary, the selected student will be given a $1,000 stipend.  The position will last from January 3, 2011 through May; it is essential that the candidate be willing to stay through May 31.  We hope for minimum participation of 10 hours per week and are flexible—key session events require more, while some weeks require less.  Preference will go to  someone who is available during standard work day hours. This experience will be very well received by resume readers.

Note–There is additional opportunity for the selected student to serve as the official bill “reviewer” for the Legislative Advisory Committee if scheduling permits.  This position offers additional funding and can be performed largely during the student’s own time at home!

Please direct resumes and questions to my office.

Last Call for LAH T-Shirt Pick-Up

If you pre-ordered a shirt over the summer, you can now come to the LAH office and pick yours up ($12). After September 10th, you will no longer be guaranteed a shirt, so don’t wait until it’s too late! If you like the LAH t-shirts but didn’t pre-order one, you can still get one from the limited supply of extras.

LAH Volunteer Day + Spicy Pickle Lunch Saturday, September 11 (before the game)

The LAH community will be volunteering this weekend at the Micah 6 food pantry in West Campus! Take advantage of this great opportunity to meet new LAHers while serving the local neighborhood. Afterwards, we will head over to the Spicy Pickle sandwich shop for a well-deserved lunch!

The event starts at 9:15am on Saturday, September 11 and will end by noon. (way before the game!)
If you would like to volunteer on Saturday, please email the LAH Student Council Service Chair – Katy Eyberg – keyberg@gmail.com – and she will add you to the RSVP list.
