The Log yearbook
The Log is the University of Portland’s yearbook.

As a student-produced book, we strive to include as many students as possible. Current copies of The Log can be picked up from our St. Mary’s office all semester during EspressoUP.
How to Apply
Next year’s positions, along with job descriptions and application instructions are posted to the Lead@UP’s website www.up.edu/leadership. Please read the job descriptions thoroughly before applying.

“ The Log was one of my first families
on the UP campus and I feel completely comfortable in that room with the staff... I made lasting friends and everyone on staff pushed me at one point or another to make my photography better, but also pushed me to reach out into the UP community and take the photos of my classmates. The Log makes me feel more connected to my school and I love my job. ” Leah Walters (right)

Learning from the pros Every year during spring break, select Beacon staffers attend the College Media Association conference in New York, where they attend sessions with thousands of other college journalists and network with professionals from major media outlets.
“ Producing content for student media means
belonging to a fast-paced, multi-tooled industry where the impact is incalculable and the responsibilities are inspiring. From crafting a crisp lede to pursuing a source, from hammering out a news brief to fact-checking, from late-night copyediting to snapping open Thursday’s paper, every aspect of working for The Beacon is an energetic, joyful task. I’m glad to be part of that creative effort. ” Nastacia Voisin

Every student has a voice. Every student has a story. Here at The Beacon, it’s our job to make sure those voices are heard and those stories are told. We’re looking to hire reporters, editors, graphic designers, photographers, business managers, web developers and more to give voice to the stories, shine a light on what’s going on at UP and spark campus-wide conversations about things that matter. You don’t have to have journalism experience to work at The Beacon because we’ll help you learn. But you do need to be smart, diligent and have a passion for excellence. It also helps if you take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously. Seriously. We like to have fun. These are exciting times to be part of The Beacon. A few months ago, the College Media Association awarded us Third Place in the nation for Best Weekly College Newspaper. We recently unveiled our mobile app. And every year, Beacon alums tell us how their Beacon experience helped them succeed in “the real world.” If you think you’ve got what it takes, we invite you to apply.
