Student Exploration Manager
Brown University
Job Description:
Each year, approximately 2,000 Brown undergraduates apply for funding to support experiential learning opportunities through Brown’s Summer/Semester Projects for Research, Internship and Teaching (SPRINT) Program. The Student Exploration Manager will provide critical operational support for the SPRINT program, including process and system management, student applicant and awardee communications, and program assessment. The Manager will also coordinate key activities of Center’s new campus career exploration initiative through process coordination with University Human Resources, resource development and dissemination, and program assessment. This initiative is designed to make campus employment experiences function more like internship experiences that enable students to explore career options and develop important professional skills, and will support students seeking campus employment experiences, as well as campus-based hiring managers who want to recruit, train, and manage student workers.
Student Exploration Team
The Student Exploration team will help students access year-round experiential learning and professional development opportunities both on and away from campus. The team will advise students on the process of securing campus employment opportunities while also helping students understand how these opportunities can enhance their skill development and allow them to explore career possibilities.
