COUNSELOR, Engineers of the Future (EOF)- EOF is a program for incoming Rutgers Engineering freshmen who come from economically or educationally disadvantaged families or communities. Students take a full complement of academic courses that mirror the classes they will see in the fall. Students also participate in nightly tutoring sessions as well as academic enrichment activities. Counselors live in the residence hall with the students for the duration of the program. Counselors are expected to ensure the safety and well-being of the institute participants as well as to develop a sense of community, promote academic endeavors, support the Office of Student Development and design programs of social and academic/professional nature.  All counselors are required to attend a one day training in June, and will be in residence full-time from 6/22/08 - 08/02/08.  All counselors will be required to take a defensive driving course.
Compensation: Room and board for the duration of the position, as well as a competitive salary. Salary is based upon final budget analysis, to be determined.
 

COUNSELOR/RESIDENTIAL TEACHING ASSOCIATE, Governor's School of Engineering and Technology (click for program website)- The Governor's School brings approximately 90 rising high school seniors to Rutgers for 3 weeks to study engineering and technology. Students selected for Governor's School are among the most academically talented and most motivated in the state of New Jersey, and engage in both classes and a small group research project while they are here. Counselors live in the dormitory with the Governor's School students for the duration of the program. Counselors are expected to ensure the safety and well-being of the scholars as well as to develop a sense of community, promote academic endeavors, support the Office of Student Development, and design social programs. Governor's School counselors are known as Residential Teaching Associates since they are expected to take a very active role in the educational experience of the students. Counselors/RTAs serve as a co-advisor for students' research, help to plan supplementary learning experiences, and guide the students in activities that demonstrate engineers' contributions to society. There are also (optional) opportunities for counselors to gain classroom teaching experience if they desire. Because of the intensive combination of social and academic responsibilities, Governor's School counselors are not permitted to take any classes during the program. All counselors are required to attend a one day training in June, complete a defensive driving course, and be in residence full-time from 6/22/08 - 07/22/08.
Compensation: Room and board for the duration of the position, as well as a competitive salary. Salary is based upon final budget analysis, to be determined.
