Do you keep up with the news? Are all your friends tired of hearing you talk about the upcoming election or the latest campus scandal? Would you like to have a say in what goes into the Alligator?
If you love to discuss all types of current events but aren't able to make the time commitment of a weekly column, a spot on the Editorial Board may be the perfect position for you.
And you're in luck.
We're currently in need of one new student member to bring in a fresh voice to the Editorial Board and the Alligator. The board traditionally consists of the paper's editor, managing editor and opinions editor along with students.
We meet on Sunday afternoons to discuss - and sometimes debate - the news and what to write for the next week's editorials. Board members don't have to be journalism students, though they may be asked to write editorials occasionally.
If this sounds like your kind of challenge, send a one-paragraph letter to letters@alligator.org.
Tell us a little about yourself and why you think you would be a good fit for the job. All types of students are encouraged to apply.
And who knows? You may be choosing the topic of next Wednesday's editorial.
