Freenters Social Media Intern (Spring '18)

(Contact Internship and Career Advisor about academic credit eligibility)

Who We Are

Freenters is a Chicago-based company that makes printing more affordable for college students and for colleges and universities. We insert ad pages into students' printed documents, containing deals and coupons from local and national retailers. We revenue share the proceeds from each printed ad page with college and universities, creating a new revenue stream for institutions to defray operating costs while providing value-add messaging for the student. And because institutions are able to recoup its cost through the ad-revenue share, colleges and universities are able to offer printing for free to their students. More information can be found at freenters.com.
