Graduate Assistant - Recruiting Assistant Music & Media

Description

The GA position is designed to assist B.S. Music Production and B.S. Digital Media in recruiting. The goal is to grow each of the programs and this position will be instrumental in helping in that process, telling the story of who we are/what we do through connecting with prospective students in multiple ways.

Music Production covers a wide range of areas including: Live Audio, Studio Recording, Worship Arts, Commercial Music Performance and Audio Post Production while the Digital Media degree covers a wide range of work in video creation, video editing, graphic design, photography and other related areas. 

Music Production and Digital Media also overlap in a number of areas including audio post production, audio for video, live streaming (switching, camera work and post editing). Both areas primarily provide learning/training in direct hands-on, practical experience educational opportunities through class work and projects each week.

We are looking for assistance in getting the word out about who we are, what we have to offer and to connect with prospective students in each or any of these areas in order provide them with a great education, preparation for future employment as well as grow our programs.

Technically, this position does not need to be a musician or have digital media skills.
