Applications are open for next year’s Students of the World teams! Looking for a truly extraordinary internship and summer experience? Students of the World (SOW) is a local non-profit here in Austin that connects the creative capacity of college students with organizations around the world, using new media to capture the work they do and the lives they change. This past year’s UT team traveled to Haiti, where they resided for a month, traveling and capturing the stories of various organizations working in areas from micro-finance to mango and coffee farmers to emergency medical care training for doctors and nurses in Port-au-Prince’s largest general hospital. The other teams traveled to Ghana, Uganda, and the West Bank to do similar work with other NGO’s. If you are interested in journalism, photo journalism, photography, documentary film, multi-media storytelling, graphic design, fundraising, non-profit experience, traveling, cultures, language, telling stories, and transformative life experiences– this is definitely the experience for you.

Echo Literary Magazine

Leave a reply

Echo is now accepting submissions for the 2011 edition! Please submit your poetry, prose, and photography echolitmag@gmail.com. Feel free to submit any number of pieces in any or all of the categories!
Our theme this year is “inSIGHT”. While this is the chosen theme, please do not limit the content that you submit; however, think of it as a general guideline with which you can explore the boundaries. “inSIGHT” can mean gaining a deeper understanding, or it can mean what is physically in view. Perhaps think about how we perceive the world by combining our mental insights with what is actually in sight. Whether you explore the theme through its emotional or through its visual meaning, the possibilities are endless and yours for the taking. We feel you all are a group full of creativity, energy and imagination, and we look forward to a fine batch of submissions.
Sincerely,
The Echo Team
P.S.
If you are interested in helping out the Echo Team read submissions and put together the magazine, please email the same email, echolitmag@gmail.com requesting to be put on the mailing list. We will begin emailing out information regarding reading sessions in the spring semester.
