In conjunction with Little League International, the Newhouse Sports Media Center will host an information session for students interested in their summer residency internship program. The internship program offers students real-world, hands-on experience at an international sporting event that draws children, families and fans from around the globe.

The residency program includes positions in the following areas: digital media, video production, on-field camera operations, social media, staff photography, media relations, graphic design and writing. Participants would reside in Williamsport, PA for the duration of the program (July 21 through August 27).

Housing will be provided to participants, along with meals at events. However, participants must arrange their own accommodations to and from Williamsport. Cars are permitted, but not required, and it is recommended that students carpool to and from facilities each day. For your benefit, we’ve also put together a landing page at LittleLeague.org/WSResidency that will house all the information for students and serve as the place for students to apply.

The information session will take place on Monday February 27 at 6:00 p.m. in the I-3 Center (NH2, room 432/434). If you require any accommodations, please contact Mylinda Smith.

About the reporter

Emily Shiroff

Emily Shiroff is a native of the greater Syracuse area, having spent her childhood in Manlius. She attended the Fayetteville-Manlius School District, graduating in 2019, one year early. Emily continued her education at Vanderbilt University, where she earned a B.A. in psychology and truly realized her passion for writing and public speaking. During her time at Vanderbilt, she got involved with various student organizations, most notably the Vanderbilt Hustler, Vanderbilt’s student-run newspaper. Emily contributed to written pieces, but she was more commonly found in the press box, covering Vanderbilt baseball games on the Vanderbilt Hustler Twitter account. She graduated from Vanderbilt in 2022, one year early yet again. The choice to come to Newhouse was an easy one for Emily, as it meant not only receiving a world-class education, but also being near her family and two beloved dogs for the next 12 months. She is currently pursuing her M.A. in broadcast & digital journalism on the sports media and communications track. Following the completion of her degree, Emily hopes to work as either a social media content creator for a college athletics program or an on-air reporter. Outside of school, Emily enjoys watching games with her dad, taking her dog, Bentley, on adventures all over upstate New York, and spending time with her friends who have remained local. She attributes her success to her parents, who always remind her that there is nothing she can’t achieve, her brother, whose near-daily requests for rides force her to take much-needed study breaks, her friends, who are always there to listen to her exhaustion-fueled rants, and all her educators and mentors through the years, who have always pushed her to be the best student and person she can be. Oh… and her dogs, who provide all the kisses and cuddles a girl could ever ask for after a long day at Newhouse.
