08-09 January Student Coordinator Applicaiton & Selection

Some components of our immersion program will be changing for the 2008-2009 academic year.  We will be facilitating the Student Coordinator application and selection process for the January experiences this spring rather than next fall.  This will allow Campus Ministry and the Center for Service and Social Action an opportunity to include January coordinators in a participant application process that begins at the start of next school year and for January coordinators to begin their training and development immediately in the fall.

Below is a summary of the Student Coordinator Application & Selection Process. More information will be available at the informational meetings mentioned below.
