Summer Opportunities for Business Students 2013

The opportunities for business students who are interested in the Not for Profit sector is almost limitless.  Besides handling payroll and other basic summer business duties, there is room for developing business and community networks and exploring possibilities for FACTSnet development.  This year we could hire more than one business student with each student emphasizing a different aspect of FACTSnet.  See links below for what previous Summer Business Managers have done:

The job description for this year could be used as a starting point for summer 2013 job descriptions.  Besides supervising the other jobs listed, the business manager worked with a volunteer to develop a custom template for FACTSnet blogs.
