Special Project: Fridays on the Patio

Oversee and project manage "Fridays on the Patio" program - a free student-centered open to all program that includes both subject-specific programs related to the mission of the center along with other programs that are focused on mindfulness, self-care and community building. The intern will work to develop co-sponsorships, co-programming opportunities, and reach out to student clubs and related departments like Spanish & Portuguese, Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies and the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies, for example.
