The Humanities program assistant will be assisting me as the Humanities division chair to create content for social media to promote the division. There will be a focus on reels and blog-style posts. This is ideal for an FMA/COM double major interested in social media management.

The FMA Program assistant positions will all help perform a variety of tasks on behalf of FMA, including helping in the lab, filming campus events, and creating promotional content for the FMA program. Level III is the highest-paying job but has the most responsibility. Level II is middle-tier pay and responsibility. The position with no level listed is entry level.
