The Office of Web Communications is seeking applications for students to blog about their day-to-day life at Cornell. The 2009-2010 academic year will be the fourth for Life on the Hill and we are once again pleased to open up our application pool to include the entire undergraduate student body.
Information about the project can be found at the About the Project link above. This includes a list of project goals and expectations for successful candidates. A FAQ is also available.
During the academic year, bloggers are expected to post at least two entries per week (one during breaks) and will be compensated with a monthly stipend of $50 taxable income. Additionally, the Office of Web Communications occasionally obtains tickets to campus events (The Dalai Lama, Steven Colbert, Hockey games, etc), which will be distributed to students who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the project.

PS. Wondering about all those password protected posts below? They are a series of possible topics for our students to blog about if they are stuck for ideas. We offer up suggestions, but we never tell you what you have to write. Promise.
