Are you in the Boston campus? Are you interested in temporary work with one of the College departments?

I am looking for several students to help with campus departmental tasks: one student is needed for the creation of eforms, someone is needed to “do some number crunching with excel for about a month”. Another school is looking for someone to help develop electronic forms and video clips, etc. for online training.

Each of these positions would pay $15 per hour and the last one would probably longer than the first two. Time is flexible.

Contact Em Claire Knowles for more information.
