Still Looking for an Internship?

Posted on by

Once you’ve been approved for internship eligibility it can be stressful trying to find and secure an internship. One good thing about securing an internship is that you don’t need to secure one until the first day of the semester you’re interning. This means, if you don’t yet have an internship, you have all of winter break to find one.

The process of finding an internship can be overwhelming, so here it’ll be broken down to ensure you have less stress when you’re out searching. First, you must find internship opportunities. This blog and the @ npcommedia Instagram are great places to find an internship. The internship coordinator and team receive many opportunities that are quickly shared on the blog and Instagram, so these places are great resources for finding internships in a timely fashion.

Another place to find internships is The Big List. The Big List is where all past internships that students in the CMM and DMJ departments have previously interned. There is a plethora of on campus, local, and NYC internships to suit any type of internship you’re looking for. One feature this list offers, that other sources don’t directly offer, is a connection. Because past New Paltz students have interned with these people before, the internship coordinator of the organization may be more inclined to respond to, interview, stay in contact with, or even offer an internship to someone because of prior connections.

Some websites that post job/internship listings are Handshake (formerly HawkHire – can be found on my.newpaltz.edu under the “Employment Resources” tab), Indeed, and more. These sites include listings placed directly from the organization itself. The bulletin boards in CSB and the Congrats email you receive once you complete internship eligibility are also good places to look for internships or can direct you to other places to look.

Once you have narrowed down the internship you are interested in, reach out. Some organizations have an email you can reach out to apply, or they have a formal application. Most listings on the Instagram and Blogs have the method of contact listed and The Big List does as well.

Once you’ve applied, all you have to do is wait. You may get an offer right away, but more likely than not you will have to interview. Make sure to dress nice, if it’s over video chat make sure to be in a tidy and quiet location, and bring your most professional self.

Once you have secured a spot with the organization, read this blog to determine what to do next. Good luck with all future internship endeavors and be sure to reach out to Internship Coordinator Nancy Heiz if you have any questions.

Eligible But Haven’t Found an Internship? Don’t Worry! Internship Registration is Separate from Class Registration

Posted on by

Once you have been approved for internship eligibility you have until the first day of the semester that you are interning to find an internship. There is no need to rush and find an internship by class registration. If you are worried about not being considered a full-time student, you can add a class into your schedule and then drop it once you have secured an internship. Our department grants students permission to register for internship credits once you have found a placement and that placement has been approved… If this is your first internship, you will register for internship credits and the Internship Seminar, both of which are restricted to Permission of Instructor and listed on the schedule as “FULL” because our department protects the seats, so students go through the required approval process. To register for an internship, follow the steps in the “Congrats Email” that has been, or will be, sent to you once you’ve been approved for internship eligibility.

Here are other guidelines:

  • You may NOT register until you have actually secured an internship that has been approved by the Internship Coordinator.
  • The deadline to find, get approval, and register for internship credits is the FIRST DAY OF CLASSES. NO LATE REGISTRATIONS ALLOWED.
  • You must be aware of the number of credits and hours required to earn the credits. The Seminar (DMJ or CMM491) is a 1-credit course. Legislative Gazette interns must take the Seminar. 
  • If your internship falls through, you will need to find an alternate placement. Contact the Internship Coordinator immediately if this happens. (If you remain registered for the internship credits but don’t complete it, you will earn an “F” for the credits, which will affect your GPA.)

Have any questions that are not answered in the “Congrats Email” or in the Internship Eligibility folder? Then see Nancy Heiz, Internship Coordinator. Need help finding an internship? Check out this video here!

Faculty Profile: Introducing Professor Mark Glantz

Posted on by

In Fall 2025, the Communication Studies Department welcomed Assistant Professor Mark Glantz. Professor Glantz returns to Upstate New York after spending his recent years teaching in the Midwest in Wisconsin, Missouri, and elsewhere. Glantz specializes in crisis communication and public relations image repair. He earned a BA in Communication at SUNY Oneonta, an MA in Communication at SUNY Brockport, and his Ph.D. at University of Missouri-Columbia.

As an assistant professor, Glantz is teaching two courses this fall semester, Communicating Corporate Social Responsibility and Nonprofit Leadership and Communication. His teaching style includes creating a safe and laid-back atmosphere where student can understand and build an appreciation for the study of communication.

“I believe that students learn more when students are enjoying themselves and when they have fondness and respect for the instructor . . . I do think people learn more from people that they like. I try to create a laid-back atmosphere that can be fun and has a chance to build community in an organic way.” Glantz hopes that this helps students feel eager and willing to contribute to good discussions and learn the material and about each other.

Glantz brings an interdisciplinary lens to the study of communication and political science. His thesis and dissertation were a rhetorical analysis of political strategy that were compelling for its time period. From exploring the rhetorical impact of President Obama’s 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner speech had on President Donald Trump, catalyzing his decision to run for president, to analyzing electoral campaigns in 2009 that had been accused of “flip-flopping”, a tactic considered aggressive for its time period. Professor Glantz remains passionate about political communication and looks forward to offering this study as a course in upcoming semesters, bridging theory and practice into the classroom.

At his previous institution, St. Norbert College, Professor Glantz was an active and engaged member of the campus community. He has carried that spirit of involvement to SUNY New Paltz, where he serves on faculty committees. He serves on the Programming Committee, where he helps organize departmental events including social gatherings, alumni panels, and networking opportunities for students. He also sits on the Liberal Arts and Sciences Committee, contributing to academic initiatives across the college. As a graduate professor, Glantz serves as a representative for Graduate Student Open House for the Communication Department.

Professor Glantz is enjoying his time here in the Hudson Valley. Residing in Highland, Glantz is planning on settling down in Ulster County with his wife and family. After living in Wisconsin for the last 10 years, Glantz is grateful to be back on the East coast and has developed a growing appreciation for the area’s food and natural beauty. Glantz is also excited to be closer to family that are now only a couple hours away.

Since joining SUNY New Paltz, Glantz has quickly become a vital part of the campus community. His early and enthusiastic engagement reflects a deep commitment to both institutional service and student success. He looks forward to what lies ahead and is excited to continue growing alongside his students.
