However, editing skills are a plus if you have them!
QUALIFICATIONS
• Open to all current undergraduate students at Babson. • Comfortable being both behind and in front of the camera. • Prior experience with vlogging or video creation is highly encouraged. • Strong storytelling and video composition skills are a plus. • Editing experience is a bonus, but not necessary. • Personable, creative, and able to work in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
