ACSA SEEKS SUMMER COMMUNICATIONS INTERN

 

By designing and creating the world, architects and designers make an impact on communities across the globe. Learning how to do that starts in architecture school. At the Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture (ACSA), our mission is to lead architectural education and research to make the built environment better. 

ABOUT US

We represent more than 7,000 architecture school faculty in our international membership association who have a lot to say, to publish, and to post. Therefore, we are looking for a Summer Intern to work remotely on social media and communications projects.

As a Communications Intern, you will engage with multiple brands associated with ACSA’s endeavors, such as StudyArchitecture.com and #IMadeThat on Instagram. Your role will involve learning and executing communications and marketing workflows, creating content for ACSA media channels, translating complex content for broader audiences, and contributing to strategic information for marketing campaigns. Additionally, you may be assigned various tasks to broaden your skill set.

  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a remote professional office setting.
  • Detail-oriented with strong prioritization skills for managing multiple assignments.
  • Flexible, responsive, and willing to learn in a virtual environment.
