Geography folks,
I am sending this email to see if you can help us recruit students to do work with us at the Voinovich School. We already have a record number of undergraduate and graduate students employed this Fall (9 or 10), but we still could use additional students that want real world GIS experience. The pay will be $11/hour.

Please talk with your students, and distribute the following job posting to members of the Geography Club or relevant student email lists.
