COE UK Preview Night Coordinator


OPPORTUNITY FOR A GRADUATE STUDENT TO EARN SOME CASH
 AUGUST – OCTOBER, 2011
 THE COLLEGE OF EDUCATION IS SEEKING A UK PREVIEW NIGHT COORDINATOR TO REPRESENT THE COLLEGE.

The Academic Services & Teacher Certification Office wishes to employ a motivated graduate student to serve as the 2011 Preview Night Coordinator to represent and recruit for the College of Education. 

As Preview Night Coordinator, this student will attend ten UK Preview nights from August 29 through October 13. (typically, two sessions per week)  

Preview nights are scheduled in the evenings in various cities throughout Kentucky.  Preview night events are planned and managed by the UK admissions and recruitment office.  UK also manages travel to and from the Preview Night sites. 

There is a stipend of $100.00 per preview night, with transportation (interstate bus) provided and reimbursement for dinner included.  Materials and training are supplied by staff in the Office of Academic Services and Teacher Certification.  (NOTE: For the out of state trips to Naperville, IL and Atlanta, GA, the stipend is increased to $200.00 per night.)

Faculty and Staff are asked to contact graduate students about this opportunity.  The experience of Preview Night Coordinators in earlier years has been very positive.  The UK bus service allows them to study or prepare for classes as needed.  Although there are late nights associated with Preview Night trips, this is a low-stress activity.  The time span for the assignment is limited, and the payment plan is adequate.

This is an excellent opportunity for the right graduate student.
 Interested students should contact Rose Boulay, rose.boulay@uky.edu, 257-1229
