Course Assistant/Grader for Global Sustainability: GSVS 2150/ARCH 2150/COMM 3880 (Student Wage)

This is an excellent opportunity for graduate students from any discipline to gain a deeper knowledge of sustainability. Cross-listed in Global Studies, Architecture, and Commerce, this interdisciplinary course is the required foundation for both the Global Sustainability major (aka Global Studies, Environments + Sustainability) and the Global Sustainability minor. Professors from environmental science, philosophy, medicine, architecture, engineering, commerce and other disciplines lecture throughout the semester.

The role does not require extensive knowledge of sustainability or architecture. The position requires an average of 10 hours per week throughout the semester (max. 150 hours per semester) depending on whether there is an assignment to grade that week.
