toward periodical publishing, there are
other potential opportunities throughout
campus. Many departments and offices have
their own newsletters and publications,
so you might see if you can arrange an
internship with one of them. Furthermore,
Ed on Campus, a student group, invites
all majors to join and explore the magazine
industry, and the UI student-run newspaper
The
Daily Iowan accepts applications from
students in any major.
