Monica Parodi, junior nutrition major from Honduras, talks with Dr. Kerri Hart about applying for a nutrition counselor position in the new wellness center. "The Counseling Center is going to be good experience," Parodi said. "Clinical (experience) is really important."
The hiring process is beginning in earnest for the Royce and Pam Money Student Recreation and Wellness Center.
More than 40 student positions will be filled before the end of the school year, and two-thirds of the center’s new leadership team is working with the Abilene Christian University Career Center to help students polish resumes and cover letters.
Joel Swedlund and Dr. Kerri Hart joined Career Services executive director Mary Ellen Olson and other staff in front of the Campus Center this afternoon to give students more information and point them to instructions for applying for one of the dozens of new positions.
Open positions include lifeguards, nutrition counselors, trainers and others.
The deadline for applications is a week from Friday, April 29, with interviews occurring the next week. The staff hopes to have the center’s student team in place before finals week, which begins with dead day May 9. About 70 students will be selected for interviews, Swedlund said.
For more information about applying for a job in the wellness center, students should visit the Career Center blog. The application process is entirely electronic, Swedlund said, in keeping with efforts for the new facility to promote environmental wellness.
