    Are you dedicated? Detail oriented? A speedy worker? Punctual? Some experience (if not, interest) in events, marketing, PR, design, and social issues are required. Responsibilities include assisting with: planning events, conducting partnership research, updating marketing materials, placing advertisements, outreach (corporate, nonprofit) and project management.

    There is some pay. We welcome graduate students as well as undergraduate students. Your duties will be adjusted according to your ability. Time frame: ASAP through the end of winter. Hours: whatever your class schedule will allow. We are flexible. We do, however, need someone to set hours and commit to them so we may depend on their help and assistance. If you think you have what it takes, email your resume to feinberg@design21sdn.com. Serious inquiries only.
