The intern will be responsible for assisting and supporting the transition, integration and development of all international students living on campus. Through a variety of initiatives such as an International LLC, the intern will support the design of strategies that will look to foster relationships between international and domestic students; facilitate integration of undergraduate international students into the Rutgers community, promote international engagement and cross-cultural competency; and promote student success and retention. Intern will support recruitment and selection process, development of training programs and implementation of assessment projects.
The intern is also responsible for assisting in supporting social justice education initiatives by developing strategies to increase Residence Life’s organizational capacity to provide cross-cultural and intercultural experiences that will enrich our department and the students in our residence halls. The intern will do this through involvement on the Residence Life Diversity Committee and participating in the ongoing development of the Diversity Peer Educator Program. The intern will be involved in the creating of diversity training sessions, professional development opportunities centered on diversity and social justice topics, and the continued development of assessment initiatives for the diversity peer educator program.
