What does it mean to be a Thrive Global Campus Editor-at-Large?
If you want to amplify your voice, connect to other dynamic campus leaders across the country and become an impactful contributor to the mental well-being space, this is your chance.
Thrive will appoint editors-at-large to represent their university or college and contribute to Thrive’s media platform — and get the opportunity to have their voices heard by millions worldwide — as well as spread the word and invite other Thrive ambassadors to contribute.
Responsibilities include:
- Contribute as much content as you’d like, but at least one piece of content per month, to Thrive’s media platform. (You can contribute pieces on any subject that resonates with you related to mental well-being, from experiencing depression on campus, to your relationship with technology, to self-care, to what brings you joy, to what is or isn’t being done on your campus about the mental health crisis — and any other trends you’re noticing or experiencing. You can submit stories, photos, art, illustrations, interviews, videos, audio or podcast clips, etc.)
- Invite anyone you’d like to join the conversation and become Thrive ambassadors, sourcing at least two pieces of content per month from other contributors.
- Update Thrive editors on campus-related news and trends.
- Assist in planning any campus projects.
- Communicate regularly with your Thrive editor.
Further opportunities/perks include:
- Your work will be published with your byline on Thrive’s platform.
- You’ll receive a college-ambassadors-only newsletter and have the opportunity to curate a newsletter.
- You’ll have the chance to work directly with Thrive’s editors to build your voice as a writer and strengthen and optimize your content for our worldwide audience.
- You’ll have the chance for your work to be considered for promotion on Thrive’s social platforms.
- You’ll get access to a network of other dynamic, influential campus leaders around the country.
If you’re psyched about Thrive’s mission and love creating content around mental well-being, consider yourself ambassador material!
