RSA 2014 Social Media Fellowships, Call for Applications

RSA 2014 Social Media Fellowships, Call for Applications

The Rhetoric Society of America is pleased to announce the following

funding opportunity for graduate students attending the 2014 RSA

Conference in San Antonio, the establishment of four Social Media

Fellowships. Applications for the Fellowships are due April 14, 2014.



Recipients of the Social Media Fellowships will work with Collin

Brooke, the RSA Director of Electronic Resources, to create an ongoing

digital archive of the conference, accessible to both attendees and

non-attendees. Responsibilities may include live-blogging or -tweeting

sessions, taking and sharing photos and/or videos of conference

activities, building the online presence of the conference with links

and resources, and promoting the conference across a range of social

media platforms. The Fellowships each carry a stipend of $750 to help

offset conference expenses.



These fellowships are open to any graduate student attending the 2014

RSA Conference. In order to apply, visit the Application Form,

provide basic contact information, and follow the instructions for

submitting application materials. Applications will require the

following information: a brief cover letter expressing interest and

qualifications, the applicant's curriculum vitae, and links/addresses

for the applicant's social media accounts. If an applicant's cv and

social media presence are readily accessible through an online

portfolio or homepage, including the URL in the cover letter will be

sufficient to satisfy those requirements.



The application deadline is Monday, April 14, 2014; we expect to make

decisions quickly after the application window has closed.
