Interested in Health Communications? Sickle Cell Awareness Campaign - CASH PRIZES for WINNING TEAMS !!!

< if you're interested ... reach out to Prof. Appelbaum directly to discuss further > 

Hi All:

Here is an incredible opportunity for undergrad Ad PR students to partner with engineering students to develop a campaign to increase public awareness about sickle cell disease.  The competition is being sponsored by NHLBI, The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute.

I just learned about this, so we need to move quickly!  The Dean of Engineering, Dr. Gilda Barabino, who is has done research in this area will also alert the engineering student of this opportunity.

If you have a go-getter student who is smart and passionate about the power of communications, please have them email me by Dec. 21 to let  me know of their interest.  The bulk of the work will happen in January and February. Deadline to submit campaigns is March 7.

Winning teams can get major cash prizes.

Here's a link to the competition overview.  I know this comes at a busy time in the semester -- but for the right student, this could be an outstanding experience.

Thanks for sharing and encouraging students.

best,

Lynn

We are currently looking for interns for our office in New York City.
Timing is flexible around classes, but we would prefer someone who is able to come in for at least 4 hours per day, 3 to 5 days per week. This opportunity is unpaid and you must be able to receive college credit for the internship. If you are interested in interning with us, we'd love to hear from you.

Also,  if you have anyone that could do their internship course during the winter, we’re happy to work with that too. This February we’re working on the press for one of  National Geographic Channel’s shows and could use some help as we plan the press days, pitching, and all that good PR stuff. 

Let me know, 

Dianna
