interns

Hannah Robinson, a Development & Programs Intern, sheds some light on interning at Island Press I joined the Island Press team in late May, eager to begin working and inspired by the organization’s dedication to the environmental movement. As an Environmental Studies major at the George Washington University, I had taken an array of climate science, human ecology and environmental policy classes. I was ready to utilize my knowledge to help assemble and spread a message to the public: students, academics and climate change practitioners.

In this second installment, Micaela Samodelov writes about what it's like to intern in the marketing and publicity departments. I applied for a publicity internship at Island Press because I was drawn to the organization’s goal to provide individuals with the information and tools they need to put ideas into practice. Interning with the Marketing and Publicity department gives me the opportunity to learn firsthand about the ways the press connects its products to the audiences most likely to take full advantage of them.
