If you are interested, please send us -- vassarcontrast(at)gmail.com -- an e-mail by 8pm this coming Sunday (May 3rd) with your name, class year, what position(s) you are applying for (if you are applying for more than one, please list them in order of preference), and a paragraph telling us why you want the position and why you think you would be good at the job. We will then send an e-mail the following week about interviews.
Although it is preferable for candidates to be able to make a full year committment, we are willing to also consider candidates who will be gone for a semester (it helps if you have someone to apply with who would be able to serve the other semester).
We hope everyone will consider applying, you've all been great this semester, and it takes dedicated members to continue making CONTRAST a success.
Many thanks!
Selina, Lucy, and Liza
