Briefs

@® 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.
