Just today, I received information about the 32nd annual Publishing Institute at the University of Denver, a program designed for those who want to enter the publishing field. This year, it is heald July 8–August 3, and it looks very informative and useful. I’ve put up a poster outside my office door listing more information about the sessions and faculty members, or you can go to the Institute’s website and request your own informational packet. One downside is the cost (tuition is $3950); however, it is possible to take the Institute for graduate credit, in case that option appeals to some of you.

A paid internship (housing provided!) in KC
While browsing The Chronicle of Higher Education over break, I came across this wonderful summer 2007 internship opportunity with the Kauffman Foundation in Kansas City. I’ve copied some of the internship information from the Foundation’s website here, and you can find out more and apply at the site. Deadline: Feb. 15, 2007.

As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work with a professional staff in an environment that values ideas and drives to stay ahead of the curve. You will work in a supportive atmosphere that encourages hard work and original thought. You will also explore the consequential thinking of the best minds in the fields in which we work.
