About YRIS
At YRIS, staff writers perform three major functions: 
  1. Write and Publish short-form articles on our website about important global affairs topics.
  2. Assist in selecting winners and editing pieces for publication in our print journals (which are distributed across dining halls). Our contests are held quarterly and accept long-form analytical pieces from undergraduates across the world.
  3. Interview leading experts in IR (past examples include Richard Haass and Noam Chomsky) and attend YRIS social events
We're also looking to bring on a business team that will help with outreach, marketing, events, and interviews; and a design team that will help with issue layout, cover art, and designing YRIS promotional materials throughout the year. Many YRIS members serve both as staff writers and as part of either of these teams.

Note: Joining YRIS automatically grants membership in our parent organization YIRA (the Yale International Relations Association), which offers members unique access to grants, networking events, travel abroad, social events, formals, and more!
