As the semester is drawing to a close, the OTR is holding election for next semester's senior staff positions.
Elections
will be held this Thursday, May 15th, between 1:00 – 3:45 pm.
Senior Staff positions can be hard work, but it's very rewarding and looks quite good on a resume. Students only need to be matriculated at Hunter college to hold office. Experience is not necessary, but passion is.
You may run for any of the nine staff positions. An asterisk by the title means that the current staffer is graduating, changing positions, or otherwise leaving. As you can see, a lot of positions are wide open right now.
Read more for the nine positions. Good luck!
