Are You Interested in Being a NGJ Campus Director?

Yes

No

NGJ Campus Directors are responsible for promoting major NGJ initiatives and projects on their campus, as well as spreading the word about NextGen Journal. It's a small commitment, but an exciting chance to be a major part of NGJ's operation and growth. We currently have about 30 Campus Bases- if you indicate interest, NGJ's Mike Mezzino may be in contact. This is a loose measure of possible interest, not a firm commitment.
