Dear colleagues,
Our friends at OpenStax (the major open textbook publisher located at Rice University in
Houston) are looking for 10 students to join their internship program this Fall. This
internship is paid and all travel costs are covered. Some details from the application
form:
“Interns will learn about current issues, debates, and advocacy work in higher education,
travel to professional conferences, and publish blog posts sharing their perspectives and
experiences. Both to broaden their knowledge of education advocacy and to make sure that
student voices are represented, interns will attend the annual Open Education Conference
(Open Ed) this October in Phoenix. Each student will also develop a project that tackles
an affordability or accessibility issue on their campus. As a culmination of the project,
students will be a part of our Creator Fest conference in March 2020 hosted in Houston,
Texas. All of this work will happen alongside the other student interns, OpenStax team
members, and advocacy experts there to provide support and feedback.”
If you know of any KPU students who would be a good fit for this opportunity please feel
free to direct them to the application form:

I am also happy to address any questions they may have (I am on the committee helping to
adjudicate these applications).
Many thanks,
Rajiv
