Student Activities and Resources

MS in Publishing Blog

Pace University Publishing students have the advantage of studying in the heart of the publishing industry. We provide our students with guidance through every step of their academic careers and offer numerous opportunities for students to gain professional experience through internships, graduate assistantships and scholarships.

The MS in Publishing Blog is a vital part of our graduate program and serves as an essential resource for current students, alumni and faculty. One of the main objectives is to provide currently enrolled students, prospective students and alumni with a forum for departmental news, job and internship opportunities as well as alumni and faculty profiles and interviews. The blog showcases the uniqueness of the program and also provide the opportunity to students to write and publish pieces related to the industry.

The blog is also home to a variety of posts that promote industry panels, events and organizations, internship and job postings, and interesting news articles thus enriching the graduate experience for both students and alumni. The blog has helped us to solidify key industry relationships by cross promoting events and news which in turn, has opened up even more opportunities for our students. The “Publishing Links” section highlights some of our most valued relationships and stellar resources for all who visit the blog.

We have had more than 20,000 views of our site, which is in large part due to the unique, practical, interesting and timely information we post here. Our most popular feature is our monthly “Alumni in the Spotlight” interview, which highlights some of our most successful graduates. Current students find them useful for networking purposes, and alumni use them to reconnect with their classmates and to showcase their own skills and accomplishments — a useful thing to have as one moves on an up in their own careers! We also regularly profile our faculty, staff, advisory board members and guest lecturers to give our readers a real sense of the extraordinary quality of our courses and program.

The regular blog features we post weekly include:
