The MFA Program hires two Juniper Fellows, one from each genre. Juniper Fellows assist with literary arts, community, and special programming for the MFA including the Visiting Writers Series, Writers@Work, the Juniper Literary Festival, the MFA Audio Archives, as well as alumni and community engagement. Supervised by the MFA Program Coordinator, Fellows help coordinate events, plan publicity campaigns, and design & manage visual assets (posters, social media, and mailing lists). Fellows also assist in the MFA Audio Archives through preservation and organization of the program’s reel-to-reels, tapes, and other program-related audio. In addition to professional experience in arts administration and literary arts programming, Fellows benefit from contact with visiting poets and writers, agents, editors, publishers, alumni and other guests. Fellows work 5-8 hours a week during the semester and can receive up to $4,700 annually. This is generally a two-year commitment and is dependent on funding.
