Brian Creasy is a graduate student who is hiring WVU students who are interested in helping him shoot high school football games this fall. He has made arrangements with several counties in the area to videotape each game and will be providing DVD copies to parents and students who complete an online survey for his dissertation study. Each game will involve 2 to 3 cameras (one in the press box, one on the field, and one in the end zone) and will be produced like an NFL or college football television broadcast. In addition to operating a video camera, Brian may need help passing out study flyers before and after the game in order to recruit participants.
The position will pay at least $50 per game (about $12 an hour), and employees will be compensated for games that go into overtime or are much further out of town. Games will take place on Friday evenings and employees are expected to be available between 5:00 and 11:00. Footage of the game will also be provided to students who wish to use it for their resume tapes.

Public Information Officers Jaelyn Jett and Chris Marshall will visit the school on Thursday, Oct. 7, to inform, promote, and help recruit students for the longstanding Spring 2011 WV Legislature Internship. Each year, students from both WVU and Marshall (approximately two from each) work closely with assigned delegates throughout the legislative session and write columns, newsletter articles, and other public relations pieces on behalf of their representatives. The students are truly immersed in the session and spend long (but rewarding) hours on the floor working with their delegates. We have heard nothing but extremely positive feedback from the students who land the internship. In addition to the invaluable experience the students gain, they also build up their contact lists through networking and working with the various political officials throughout the state who are participating in the session.
The paid internship specifically targets public relations students. We are especially targeting those students who have already taken or are currently enrolled in PR 324: Public Relations Writing and Applications. Students who have not yet taken the class will likely not possess the writing skills needed for the internship. Although the position would be of particular interest to students interested in public or governmental affairs or political communication, any dedicated public relations student would benefit from this experience. Students are required to spend the spring semester in Charleston, W.Va. They are responsible for their own living expenses; however, students may choose to live together in an apartment to cut down on costs. Charleston has several affordable housing opportunities, and the representatives can help with this aspect.
