The Division of Global Engagement is looking for motivated, responsible, and enthusiastic individuals to serve as Global Leaders during Global Start, the international student orientation. Job applications are open Jan. 7 through Feb. 1, 2019 on careercenter.ucsc.edu.
The selected applicants will attend training throughout the spring quarter to develop intercultural communication competency and leadership skills, which will be put to use in September when new international students arrive on campus. Work is part-time in spring during training and full-time in September throughout the Global Start program.
