Student Employment at the IEC 

Peer Advisors

Peer Advisors serve as para-professional assistants to the study abroad coordinators in the areas described below. All will have responsibilities to serve as "front-line" advisors to students interested in studying abroad, to plan and conduct the day-long orientations each semester, and to help maintain the resource library. Peer Advisors must have spent at least one semester studying abroad. One position is available to begin early summer, and all applicants must be able to participate in training scheduled for the end of August. Each position is 10 hours/week.

Not all positions at the IEC require experience abroad. We also offer Administrative Assistant positions and a Computer Data Entry Assistant position. Contact the IEC if you are interested in any of these positions!
