Tom & Alissa

The times, they are a-changin’.

As mentioned in the sidebar which accompanies Comment’s articles today, I’ve joined the editorial team at Comment as Associate Editor. What exactly that means, we’re still working out, but it’s a part-time position with many and varied interesting responsibilities. I’m thrilled with the position and delighted to be working with such a great magazine and organization.

I also have accepted a part-time position beginning in September at IAM, which if you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you know is close to my heart. I’ll be doing a lot of things, including working with artists to get their events off the ground, other event planning, coordinating the office, doing some design work, and probably lots of other things that crop up in the course of the year. Being relatively familiar with the inner workings of IAM, and knowing my future co-workers quite well, I’m very excited about the position.

What does this mean for NYU? Well, firstly, I’m biting the bullet and sticking with grad school, because I love it. I’m twenty credits and a thesis from having the degree and it’s completely worth the time and cost. Employment-wise, I’ll hopefully be doing a few hours of contracting work for my current office for a few more months, beginning just after Labor Day, helping them to make a transition and closing out the projects, though I won’t be an official full- or part-time employee.

And of course, I’ll still be writing articles, mostly film reviews for Paste and Christianity Today, and I’ll be the editor-in-chief of The Curator, which will be launching by the end of this month.

Yes, I’m excited!
