Puget Sound new student-run journal: The Commons Volume 1, Issue 1, 2020 & Call for Papers

My name is Julia Gabriele, and I’m emailing you on behalf of UPS’s new student-run journal, The Commons. Last semester, we produced our inaugural issue, which is out now!

The Commons is a student-run, peer-reviewed academic publication through the Politics and Government department on campus. Though we are primarily focused on political writing and writing about politics, we are interested in writing from any discipline.

For our next edition, which will be published in the winter of this year, we’re hoping to attract a more diverse range of viewpoints and topics outside of just the Politics and Government department. During such a politically involved time, it’s more important than ever to engage the student electorate. If any students in your department are involved in PG projects with a political angle, we’d love to be able to represent their work in an academic setting.

I’ve attached the virtual flyer for our current edition, and the flyer for this next edition’s call for papers. If any students in the Politics and Government department would be interested in our publication, we’d love if you could pass this along to them!

Internship Opportunity: Paulette Jordan for U.S. Senate

Dear Professors and Internship Coordinators,

I am writing on behalf of the Paulette Jordan for U.S. Senate campaign to offer opportunities to highly motivated students, especially those from the state of Idaho and those taking a leave of absence, attending part-time, or those unable to attend this year, who would like to enrich their education with practical experience on a political campaign.

I am interested in getting students, especially those with academic interests, professional aspirations, or personal passions in politics, activism, community organizing, campaigning, and leadership involved with our campaign for their educational benefit. Students from your political science, social sciences, human rights, law, pre-law, humanities, and fine and performing arts departments are encouraged to apply. Please circulate these opportunities accordingly.

Our current offerings for students come in the form of internships on the campaign. I am happy to process internship forms the college or university may provide for academic credit. Throughout the course of the campaign, health precautions regarding COVID-19 will be strictly practiced and all opportunities for students are available remotely.

Competitive candidates will demonstrate a positive approach to meeting goals, the ability to work in fast paced circumstances, professionalism, keen social skills, and strong verbal and written communication skills. Clear conditions of the internship positions will be discussed with interested students at the time of their interview. These benefits to the student’s education and responsibilities may include:

- Assisting with remote voter outreach, virtual events, and volunteer management
- Running social media accounts and expanding online presence
- Assisting the field, communications, finance, and campaign management teams

- Conducting research on legislative and political issues

- Receiving educational training and gaining experience in campaign operations

- Time commitment is flexible based on the students’ circumstance and course load.

- The term of the positions would be from the present until election day, Nov. 3rd.

- While this opportunity is classified as an unpaid educational internship, the campaign may approve academic credit requests and/or provide expense reimbursement stipends or need-based stipends to off-set costs of involvement. The campaign recommends colleges offer additional funding to those participating in unpaid educational internships, especially for those who demonstrate increased need or qualify for need-based aid to improve equitable access to internship opportunities across the board.

By engaging with the work of running a campaign, students will gain valuable practical experience with politics, organizing, and democratic processes.

I strongly encourage students who identify as members of communities that have been historically marginalized to apply, as a key principle of democratic process is ensuring equitable access to and experience in positions of change making, policymaking, power, organizing, and leadership.

To apply, students may send an email titled “Internship Application” with their cover letter, resume, the contact info of 2 professional or academic references, and an official or unofficial transcript to this account: jesse@pauletteforsenate.com. In these, they should include relevant coursework and express any interests they may have in particular areas of campaigning or politics. The deadline is rolling, although positions are limited, so applicants are encouraged to apply promptly.

Thank you,

Jesse LeVesconte
