All positions are paid (we are the only other student organization on campus besides The Miami Hurricane that pays its members!) and this is an excellent opportunity to work at an award-winning publication that is a long-standing tradition at the University of Miami . If you're looking for that "dare to be great" situation, this is it. This is a great opportunity to build your resume, get published and/or get clips, and gain practical experience in all aspects of publishing. Be a part of a professional staff of students that creates excellent and respectable work.

Staff members also have the opportunity to attend a staff retreat as well as several conferences throughout the year.

Please contact Chris Rackliffe at ibis@miami.edu if you are interested. List for which position(s) you'd like to be considered and for editor positions tell us why you want the position. Please place "2009 Ibis Opportunities" in the subject line of your email.

As the incoming Editor-in-Chief I'd like to speak with everyone who is interested and see if your goals and work ethic match what the Ibis needs."

*         In the days of silent movies, movietellers in Asia would “tell the movie” to the audience, theatrically relating the actions and characters on the screen.  This tradition, called “ Katsuben" , has evolved to a creative art form in which movietellers redefine the images we see on the screen.  On April 18, there will be an open workshop to work with modern movietellers to experience this unique tradition first-hand and create your own movietelling piece.  You will be working closely with Professor Walter K. Lew, poet and performance artist dennis M. somera, and digital media artist Eugene Ahn.  The workshop will be held April 18 at 1pm in Richter Library, Room 346.  Pieces will be performed at an April 20 showcase in the UC Patio 8pm.  Please RSVP for the workshop to r.dompor@umiami.edu by April 14.
