Call for Spring 2013 LINC Project Managers, University of Illinois



Apply NOW! Spring 2013 LINC Project Manager Positions (For graduate students and advanced undergraduates)

Consider this significant opportunity to acquire training and experience in project management and classroom facilitation while leading a real project of importance to a nonprofit community partner! There are many positions available to co-manage a LINC-Learning in Community section (ENG 315) with interdisciplinary projects related to social and environmental issues, engineering and technical problems, education, community health, international development, and more! [See the University's online course schedule for meeting times for each of the 19 sections.]

Project Managers earn 4 credit hours for ENG 598: Applied Project Management and facilitate the regularly scheduled ENG 315 sessions for one of the projects. They assess student work, coordinate communications with the partner, manage the project, and participate in a weekly training and development meeting with other Project Managers (either M 12:00-1:50 or M 4:00-5:50). Project Managers will receive preparation for their roles during pre-semester training on January 9-10. ENG 598 counts as a pre-approved elective for the Leadership Studies Minor.
