Student Integrated Health & Marketing Intern

Job Summary

The Student Integrated Health & Marketing Intern advances a coordinated, student-centered approach to health and wellness by strengthening how students understand, access, and experience care across campus systems. This role sits at the intersection of health communication, access, and engagement supporting efforts that reduce barriers to care, improve health literacy, and connect students to integrated services including medical, mental health, wellness, and disability resources.

Rather than simply promoting services, this role focuses on making systems more understandable, navigable, and responsive to the realities of students especially those facing structural, financial, cultural, or accessibility barriers.

This position is ideal for students interested in public health, health equity, digital communication, and improving how institutions deliver and communicate care.

Responsibilities
Core Responsibilities
1. Health Communication & Digital Engagement
Develop accessible, student-centered content across platforms (Instagram, TikTok, email, web) that explains how to access care, not just that it exists
Translate complex health systems (appointments, referrals, insurance, crisis support) into clear, actionable messaging
Apply plain language, inclusive design, and accessibility best practices (e.g., captions, alt text, readability)

2. Integrated Care Promotion & Coordination
Support aligned messaging across the University Counseling Center, Campus Wellness, and Disability & Access to reduce fragmentation
Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or confusion in how services are communicated across departments
Contribute to campaigns that reflect a "no wrong door" approach to student care

3. Student Access & Health Literacy
Develop guides and tools that help students navigate real barriers (cost, insurance, wait times, stigma, documentation, accommodations)
Create multilingual and low-bandwidth-friendly materials where possible
Test materials with students to ensure clarity and usability

4. Outreach & Campaign Strategy
Design and implement campaigns focused on priority issues (e.g., mental health access, burnout, disability support, preventive care)
Use student behavior insights, not assumptions, to guide outreach timing, channels, and framing
Partner with student organizations and identity-based communities to increase reach and relevance

5. Student Voice & Storytelling (Ethical & Trauma-Informed)
Gather student feedback through interviews, polls, or listening sessions to identify barriers and opportunities
Support storytelling that reflects diverse student experiences while maintaining consent, dignity, and psychological safety
Avoid performative or oversimplified narratives of "resilience"

6. Data & Continuous Improvement
Track engagement metrics (reach, click-through, appointment conversion where possible)
Assess what messaging actually leads to service utilization-not just likes or views
Provide recommendations to improve clarity, trust, and effectiveness of communications

7. Systems Awareness & Experiential Learning
Shadow health and wellness staff (as appropriate) to understand how care is delivered across units
Map the student journey across services to identify friction points
Contribute insights to improve coordination, access, and communication across systems
