BookExpo America will provide lodging and round-trip air fare to the BEA convention to six students selected from the College of the City of New York Publishing Certificate Program. The students, to be selected by CCNY staff, will work in the BEA autograph area on Friday and Saturday in exchange for a free day seeing the sights of Chicago on Thursday and a full day at the convention on Sunday.

Students selected for the BEA internship must have already completed two of the four courses required for the certificate. They will also be asked to write an essay about what they expect to learn at BEA.
