@® Work-Study projects
sought
The student placement office is seeking

submissions for student work-study
projects to begin this fall.

The provincially-funded work-study pro-
gram provides part-time employment to
full-time students, who may be employed
at the college or off-campus with a non-
profit organization.

Projects should allow students to develop
career-related skills and should be one-
time (non-repeating), and not part of the
normal work of a department.

Students qualify on the basis of financial
need and work between 5 to 15 hours a
week, depending on their assessed need.

Project applications are available at the
student placement office, Room 2710.
Deadline for submissions is Tuesday,
June 30.
