The Daily Tar Heel is excited to accept applications for the 2022–23 Sharif Durhams Leadership Program. The program is in its third year and serves as a talent and leadership development course for DTH students from underrepresented groups, including, but not limited to: students of color and indigenous students, students with disabilities, first-generation college students and student veterans. *This application is open to all DTH students – those who work in the newsroom, on advertising staff, for the 1893 Brand Studio and / or DTH workstudy.*
The program's goals are to create equity, inclusion and opportunity at The DTH and to connect students with professional opportunities upon graduation.
Our program features and goals include:
- Programming throughout the school year with cohort members;
- A mentorship relationship and career prep opportunities;
- Monthly classes, which require 75 percent attendance; and
- Connections for students in the cohort with paid summer internships.
