I am a 2006 graduate of the IU School of Journalism and am currently working at a Public Relations agency in Chicago. Our TWIX® client has recently launched an exciting potential career opportunity for college students that I hoped you could help me share with my fellow Hoosiers.

Now through April Fools’ Day, students attending a U.S. college, university, trade school or junior college can submit funny-focused video entries at www.funnieststudent.twix.com.
