UConn First Summer is looking to hire two Student Mentors for the summer 2021 program. UConn First Summer (UCFS) offers incoming UConn students the opportunity to join UConn’s community early by beginning their academic career during this 5-week summer program. UCFS students take two credit-bearing academic courses during UConn’s Summer Session 2. Students also participate in a myriad of academic and extracurricular activities provided by the UCFS Program and by the greater UConn community. UCFS students are supported by two Student Mentors and one Program Coordinator. As of right now, UCFS will be operating online for the summer of 2021.
The Student Mentors (SM) oversee the day-to-day community building aspects of the UCFS program and support the social, academic, and personal development of UCFS students. This position requires a 6-week commitment (July 5, 2021 – August 16, 2021). SMs must be available to work flexible hours, including night and weekend hours, as necessary, throughout the duration of the program (July 12, 2021 – August 13, 2021). SMs are not required to be on duty at all hours of the day, but the duties and responsibilities of this position may require SMs to be flexible when needed. Responsibilities of the SM include supporting all program participants in their personal development, developing and implementing social programming, and performing other duties related to the UCFS program as assigned by the Program Coordinator or the OECP staff. The position will include 1 week of training and the 5 week program. This position includes a gross stipend of $3,000.
