The John D. Calandra Italian American Institute (Queens College, CUNY) and i-Italy.org are seeking students to intern in book design, web maintenance, journalism, economics/marketing, and TV production.

• Interns in book design will work with the Institute’s editorial staff in pre-publication stages and book pagination, as well as the production and maintenance of databases. Knowledge of InDesign and Filemaker Pro or Access/Excel is a plus!
• Interns in web maintenance will work to update the Institute’s web-sites.
• Journalism interns will have the opportunity to become part of one of two groups. One group of students will work on writing, in English and/or Italian, in different sections of the web-portal i-Italy (www.i-Italy.org) and on i-Italy's periodical print publications. The second group will be involved in video journalism and post-production.
• Internships in TV production are also available to work on the Institute’s TV program Italics, which airs once a month on CUNY TV.
• Economics/marketing interns will have the opportunity to work for the marketing activities related to i-Italy, which include direct contact with companies, institutions, and associations and organization of various types.
All interns will be considered part of the i-Italy staff and according to the performances there will be future work opportunities beyond the internship period.
