Student Worker - Legacy: DCUSI

Ohio Wesleyan University • Delaware, OH

7d

About The Position

The Digital Content & UX Strategy Intern will work with the Marketing & Communications team at Ohio Wesleyan University to help shape how users experience the University’s website. This role is ideal for a student who enjoys writing, organizing information, and thinking about how people read and navigate digital content.

A central focus of this internship is supporting early planning for a future redesign of owu.edu, the University’s most powerful marketing and enrollment tool. Rather than coding or software development, this role emphasizes content clarity, user experience (UX), storytelling, and structure—how words, visuals, and layout work together to guide users.

Through guided training and increasing independence, the intern will audit website pages, evaluate content effectiveness, write and revise web copy, and organize research and insights that inform long-term website strategy. By the end of the internship, the student will have contributed meaningful work that improves the quality and usability of OWU’s digital presence while building portfolio-ready experience in web writing and UX-informed content strategy.
