Not only does WFUV give us, and the tri-state area wonderful music all day long, but it also hires many of Fordham's students. They hire part-time employees and they also have a number of internships available for students, including news and sports. They host workshops for interested students and at the beginning of every fall semester the take applications for interns and student employees.
This is such a wonderful opportunity for fordham students for so many reasons. Not only is it great work experience and resume material, but it is also a great way to learn and understand this industry. Often time when students are hired in one area, it is easy to rise through the ranks and work various different positions. It is also a great opportunity and stepping stone for other communications positions at radio stations, television stations, etc. Many Fordham/WFUV alums now work for various television stations all around the New York area, onscreen and off.
This and many other wonderful job opportunities are available for students on campus, through the student employment office. Many students, as a part of their financial aid package receive a work study position on campus, such as desk assistants, event staff, or a library aide. Work study and other various jobs on campus can be a great opportunity for work experience, of course, but it is also just another to meet other incredibly intelligent and hardworking individuals in the Fordham community.
