Kansas University’s Student Senate, Haskell Indian Nations University and the city have worked together to create a paid student liaison intern position with the city. Interim Lawrence City Manager Diane Stoddard mentioned the position in her report Tuesday night at City Hall, and the Student Senate announced it Wednesday.

The intern will work for the city manager and be selected through a committee with student leadership input, with the final decision resting with the city manager, according to Stoddard’s report. She said it’s hoped to have the internship position established in early 2016.

The intern will work 15 to 20 hours a week on projects for the city and serve as a representative for students at both universities, according to Student Senate. Working to improve relations with the city was an initiative proposed during the Student Senate spring elections.

“We are excited to have created a formalized relationship with the city of Lawrence and have student input on projects and issues that affect student life across both campuses,” Student Senate government relations director Stephonn Alcorn said in the Student Senate news release.

• Outgoing KU Provost Jeff Vitter has moved on to Ole Miss — on Twitter, at least. This week he took the reins of the University of Mississippi chancellor’s Twitter account, @UMchancellor, and seems to be getting a warm online welcome. Vitter’s official last day at KU is Dec. 31, he told me today, though incoming interim provost Sara Rosen will be taking over his KU Twitter handle soon.

First day tweeting as incoming @OleMissRebels chancellor. Sharon & I can't wait to arrive on campus. Let’s start the conversation…

• Who says Comp 101 papers have to be, well, on paper? KU’s First and Second Year English program is planning its first Writers’ Faire to highlight what program director Frank Farmer called “multimodal” writing projects. “It’s not just a bunch of pages tacked up to poster boards,” he said.

The public is invited to the Writers’ Faire, set from 1 to 5 p.m. Dec. 10 at The Commons in Spooner Hall. While traditional academic writing will be on display, other kinds of texts will be exhibited as well, including zines and comics, chapbooks, websites and blogs, children’s books, video essays, public service announcements, photographic essays and posters. Farmer said there’s even a fan fiction essay on a real door, to give you an idea of what’s in store.
