English/Writing & Publication with Art History minor

How did you hear about your internship?

I heard about the UNG Press from an email I received which was sent to all English majors.

What has been the most valuable (or favorite) part of the experience?

My favorite part of working with the UNG Press is learning about all of the components within the publishing industry which ultimately allow for a manuscript to be published. There’s a lot of hard work that goes into the publishing process that goes unseen.

How will this help you in the future?

The knowledge I’ve gained on how the publishing process works such as with marketing and editing will help my future career in publishing because I now have real world experience within the field.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
