Since 2007, the Department of English and the University of Minnesota Press have collaborated on a publishing internship program in which two English majors serve as year-long interns at the UMN Press, working for a semester each in editorial and marketing/production. The students do a concurrent eight credit independent study with English faculty and receive a stipend. This spring the University of Minnesota Press hired 2008-09 intern Erin Warholm-Wolenhaus as editorial assistant. Warholm-Wolenhaus joins another former intern, Alyssa Lochner, at the Press; Lochner was hired in the Press' marketing department this winter (she wrote about the internship for English@MN). Congrats to both!
