Ampersand
What is Ampersand?
Ampersand is "the student journal of school & work." The simple way to think about it is that it is a publication in which students share thoughts and images about and from their internships.
Ampersand is something new every year, and depends on what you see as the connection between the your life at school, what your life might be at work, and (of course), what your life is like now.
What do I contribute to Ampersand?
Every student will bring the following:
A hi-res, high quality photo, preferably in color
A headshot, likely in black & white (we will shoot these in class)
A thoroughly revised article that shares your thoughts about internship, and what makes it meaningful to you. "Complete" articles are approximately 700 words long, and have a headline, sub-headline and pull-quote.
