It has been posted on UVM TODAY (I've already received my first application from a staff member in response). It will also be: posted in the next edition of the Record, distributed to members of Residential Life (RA's, graduate, and full-time staff); posted in Res Life publications to go to RA's and students in the halls; I will leave some (along with publicity) at each Residence Hall Main desk, OMA, GLBA, OSSJ, Women's Center. Larry said he would announce and distribute applications at an upcoming Staff Council meeting (Jean Held has offered to do the same with the Faculty Senate and Kita with the Student Senate). Please pass this email to any distribution lists you are a part of, as well as friends and colleagues you think would be interested. Don't forget to fill one out for yourself if you are interested and able.
