APPLY TO BECOME A REVIEWER
(now accepting applications for the 2017-18 editorial board)
Undergraduate students completing a minor or a major in any discipline within the School of Geography and Earth Sciences are invited to apply to join the Compass editorial board. As a student reviewer, you will work with the graduate student reviewers and faculty advisors to anonymously read, choose, and edit article submissions. You will also help with advertising the call for submissions, designing the layout of the final publication, and promoting the journal at Research Day in the spring. You will be expected to volunteer approximately 30 hours to these tasks from September 2017-April 2018.
As a Compass reviewer, you will learn how the academic publication process works and strengthen your editing skills in the process. You will contribute to the SGES community by supporting and promoting the work of your peers. You will gain leadership experience and collaborate in a truly collegial way with graduate students and faculty members interested in the same field as you. Not to mention, you will add a very impressive line to your CV!
Interested students are asked to submit an application to compasseditors@gmail.com by 4pm on June 30, 2017. In the body of the email, please list your name, program, program level, and indicate which stream you would like to focus on as an editor (earth science, environmental science, GIS, or human geography). Please send your CV and a writing sample (a course assignment would be fine) as attachments in the same email. Students in first, second, third, or fourth year are encouraged to apply. Successful applicants will be notified by email in July 2017.
