Transfer Scholars Initiative (TSI) Intern

Position Description

TSI welcomes high-achieving NJ community college students to enroll in a Princeton-accredited summer academic program, where they take two courses and benefit from a robust co-curricular program designed to facilitate students' transfer to selective four-year colleges and universities. The TSI Intern would support the planning and execution of our suite of academic and co-curricular programs, provide logistical support, help collect and later assess program data, and engage with students in a variety of ways. The Intern would work with the full Transfer/Veteran/Nontraditional Student Programs team, and benefit from meeting the full EBCAO staff, our campus partners, and potentially connect with our 2-year and 4-year partner schools. As appropriate and useful, the TSI Intern would be welcome to participate in TSI programming that might facilitate their future goals.
