The Right to be Forgotten: Forget About It

The internet makes connecting with each other convenient -- and permanent. Our online postings help us celebrate the good times, but they also create a record of every mistake, action, and unkind word. Should there be a way to erase this history? Do Americans have a Right to be Forgotten? Join honors student Eva Newland as she shares her research on the Right to be Forgotten and why such a concept is likely incompatible with the First Amendment. The talk also will be streamed on YouTube.

Part of the First Amendment Series, Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication.

Tuesday, Nov. 30, 1:30-2:30 p.m. at Hamilton Hall Room 172.

A one-page cover letter (addressed to Sidney Holt, Executive Director, ASME) explaining why you are interested in magazine journalism; why you want to participate in the Magazine Internship Program; and why you are qualified to be an ASME intern.

A one-page letter of recommendation from an educator who can attest to your abilities and experience
A one-page letter of recommendation from an intern supervisor or employer who can attest to your abilities and experience in the classroom and in an office

Learn more about the criteria, how interns are chosen by ASME, internship dates and finances/housing on ASME's magazine program website.

The Greenlee School offers a number of 499A summer internship scholarships. Greenlee primary majors who are selected for ASME may apply for a 499A internship scholarship in the spring to help offset expenses if they are using the internship to fulfill their 499A requirement. More info will be available in early spring 2022

Internship spotlight: Leah Gebeke

My rewarding experience as a content creation intern at 3M

"f I had to describe my internship experience in one word, it would be: rewarding. All of the hours spent tirelessly working on Adobe Creative Suite and Canva, communicating back and forth with my supervisor, and seeing my work published amongst social platforms and across the course during tournament week is a sight to behold. Some moments were so taxing, whether it was my idea being rejected or a design not getting the approval I desired, but seeing the final product after that long process is something worth being proud of."
