UConn Journalism will host a Local News Job & Internship Fair on Saturday, March 26.

WHERE: UConn Journalism Department, Storrs Campus, Oak Hall, Fourth Floor South.

WHEN: Saturday, March 26 from 10 a.m. to noon.

WHY: UConn Journalism is committed to strengthening the local news landscape in Connecticut and the region. We want to help connect local newsrooms with aspiring, well-trained young journalists.

We know that strong local journalism builds social cohesion, encourages political participation, educates and empowers people. Local journalists inform and guard the public they serve. Local news helps us see, know, care about and understand our communities. It drives conversations and serves as the public record.

PARKING: Parking is available for a fee in the South Garage at the UConn Bookstore, next to Gampel Pavilion. Lot and street parking on the Storrs Campus is free on weekends. Closest parking lots to Oak Hall are located behind the Dodd Center, Manchester Hall and Arjona Building. There is street parking available along Whitney Road.
