Hi all, Global Communities is accepting applications for a part-time,
temporary program assistant. This position does not offer benefits, but may
be of interest to a graduate student who already holds an assistantship and
is eligible for an overload (with approval of their advisor and the
graduate school).

Thanks,
Natalie
