You’ll need an eye for effective graphic layouts, the ability to organize and prioritize multiple projects, and an interest in learning the technical side of print production. A combination of relevant education and work experience will be considered. Ideally, you’ll be pursuing a degree in Graphic Art, Marketing, or a related field. In addition you must have:

• At least Junior standing; recent graduates are encouraged to apply
• A cumulative GPA of 2.80 or higher
