As the summer comes to an end, it’s time to consider opportunities for the fall and winter academic terms. At the Innovation Hub, we’re excited to offer a number of work-study positions open to all students who meet the eligibility requirements.<\/a> Here’s a\u00a0testimonial from Joel West, the Volunteer Coordinator from our summer work-study team:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“What did I personally gain from doing a work study at the Innovation Hub? I got greater confidence in myself and in my own core beliefs and I also learned that I can work well in a team. Another thing I learned was about best practices\u00a0 and innovative thinking in volunteering. More importantly, I learned to express these skills in a meaningful and useful manner. That is why I am excited to help our current Summer 2018 team announce that the Innovation Hub will be hiring work study positions for Fall 2018 and Winter 2019.”<\/p>\n
