Positions

Next year’s positions, along with job descriptions and application instructions are posted to the Lead@UP’s website www.up.edu/leadership.

Please read the job descriptions thoroughly before applying.

The Log was one of my first families on the UP campus and I feel completely comfortable in that room with the staff... I made lasting friends and everyone on staff pushed me at one point or another to make my photography better, but also pushed me to reach out into the UP community and take the photos of my classmates. The Log makes me feel more connected to my school and I love my job.

I honestly love ‘The Log.’ I love the people I work with, and I love the laid-back, but still professional, atmosphere. I love working side-by-side with others, and bouncing ideas off of each other.

Applications for all editor positions and marketing coordinator are due Friday, Feb. 7, 2015.

Applications for all other staff positions are due Friday, March 20, 2015.

The Log is the University of Portland’s yearbook. It is a way for students’ stories and campus happenings to be photographed and written about, allowing those experiences to be relived in years to come. As a student-produced book, we strive to include as many students as possible. Current copies of The Log can be picked up from our St. Mary’s office all semester during EspressoUP.

Learning from the pros

Every year during spring break, select Beacon staffers attend the College Media Association conference in New York, where they attend sessions with thousands of other college journalists and network with professionals from major media outlets.

In October, The Beacon launched a mobile app allowing its readers to access its content on their phones. The project was headed by former Editor-in-Chief Kelsey Thomas, who graduated in December.Download the UPBeacon mobile app for iPhone and iPad from the App Store and from Google Play for android phones.

Producing content for student media means belonging to a fast-paced, multi-tooled industry where the impact is incalculable and the responsibilities are inspiring. From crafting a crisp lede to pursuing a source, from hammering out a news brief to fact-checking, from late-night copyediting to snapping open Thursday’s paper, every aspect of working for The Beacon is an energetic, joyful task. I’m glad to be part of that creative effort.

The Beaconprint & digital 24/7

Every student has a voice. Every student has a story.

Here at The Beacon, it’s our job to make sure those voices are heard and those stories are told.

We’re looking to hire reporters, editors, graphic designers, photographers, business managers, web developers and more to give voice to the stories, shine a light on what’s going on at UP and spark campus-wide conversations about things that matter.

You don’t have to have journalism experience to work at The Beacon because we’ll help you learn. But you do need to be smart, diligent and have a passion for excellence. It also helps if you take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

Seriously. We like to have fun.

These are exciting times to be part of The Beacon. A few months ago, the College Media Association awarded us Third Place in the nation for Best Weekly College Newspaper. We recently unveiled our mobile app. And every year, Beacon alums tell us how their Beacon experience helped them succeed in “the real world.”

If you think you’ve got what it takes, we invite you to apply.

10,000 Lakes The Deep Cut

Between a Rock and a Hard Place Food for Thought

Henry Hark Joel Simard

Sophia Wuest James Henderson + Stacey Van Dyke

I can promise nothing short of the greatest hour of radio within campus borders. This will include Hip & Hop, R&B, Soul & Funk, Jazz, Folk, Rock with maybe some Roll, and everything in between.

A Deep Cut refers to songs on albums that do not get enough commercial airplay. They are the hidden gems on the B-sides that need to see the light of day.

A lot of hard rock and alternative rock with some screaming. Mostly anything I want to play.

An hour-long show about all things food-related. We will have guest speakers and awesome music.
