As a peer advisor, you will be able to secure an early registration appointment; receive gift certificates for the fall and spring terms; have a personalized, profile section in your school’s website; … etc. All juniors and seniors, who are in good academic standing, are eligible to apply. Please submit your complete applications to Natieska Rivas in room 2037. Deadline is April 25^th.

* "The 2009 Ibis Yearbook is looking for writers, photographers, designers, section editors (Academics, Organizations, Greeks, Lifestyles, People, Sports) and main editors (Copy, Photo, Design, Managing).

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."
