Hello and welcome back to the 2012 school year – As you may know the Associated Press is working with the Associated Students of Eastern, Eastern’s Journalism Program and Eastern’s administration in setting up a national General Election call-in center in EWU's PUB Multipurpose Room for the November General Election. Eastern's students will be handling election returns for the Presidential election, Congress and many state-wide races in 22 states from across the U.S. Eastern is the only college or university in the United States to have this distinction. For this exciting event the AP is hiring up to 210 Eastern students to work in the Center, at $12/hour for both training and the day of the election. Training will take place the morning of Nov. 3 (a Saturday) and the election this year is Tuesday Nov. 6.
I am responsible for recruiting the student workers and it would be a tremendous help if you would please share this information with students in your classes and program. It will be a great civic involvement experience for them as well as providing them with some well-deserved extra cash.
Thank you so much.
Steve Blewett, Emeritus Professor of Journalism and currently adjunct professor in the Journalism Program. Students can contact me at: sblewett@ewu.edu or call me at 534-1455 if they have any questions or would like to sign up for a position.
