[Csi-L] FW: Message regarding Justice careers for Chi Sigma Iota, Alpha Chapter

[Henry, Jessica]

Hi there,

 DART is hiring 9 individuals for full-time, salaried careers in grassroots community organizing.  Positions are competitive (last year 7 were hired from 540 applicants), but we find that folks who are involved with campus organizations often have the type of self-motivation we look for in our organizers.  

My colleage, Clarissa Epps, will be on campus at OU this Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 6pm in Morton Hall 115 to talk about these opportunities.  Let me know if you'll be able to help get word out, via any listservs, facebook, announcements at an upcoming meeting, etc.  (also let me know if you personally are interested in attending).

Take care,
Hannah
