Ginsberg Graduate Academic Liaisons serve as connectors to their home departments, while deepening their knowledge and application of community engaged scholarship and practice. Graduate Academic Liaisons make a one-year commitment, renewable upon mutual agreement.

Liaisons help broaden the Ginsberg Center’s capacity to support faculty in preparing students for community engagement through leading curricular and co-curricular workshops, developing curriculum, and integrating current research into Ginsberg Center materials and resources. In return, they are part of a community of practice centered around equitable community engagement. Liaisons learn and apply best practices, cultivate their leadership skills, form relationships with other students, faculty and community partners, and contribute to the Center's mission to support equitable campus-community partnerships in service to the public good.

WHO:
Doctoral students interested in applying and expanding their knowledge and experience with community engagement.

TIME COMMITMENT & PAY:
Each liaison commits to 5 hours a week for both the Fall and Winter semesters, including regular meetings with Ginsberg Center staff and cohort meetings. Depending on availability and project needs, there is also the possibility of working with us over the summer. Liaisons are typically paid $15/hour.

HOW TO APPLY:
The online application is due Friday, May 1, 2020. We will contact applicants to set up a virtual interview.
