A team of 14 SLCs assist with the development and implementation of the programs and services offered by OSE. Specific duties include creating marketing materials for events, maintaining databases for student groups, hosting leadership workshops, providing assistance in the Student Activities Center and OSE office, and much more. This is a great position for detail-oriented students interested in working with people and events. Student Leadership Consultants represent the vision and values of OSE. Through continuous education and training, Student Leadership Consultants will have the opportunity to expand their skills in the areas of customer service, public speaking, marketing, and program development.

Assist with projects, including the planning of workshops, retreats, conferences, service events, program meetings, etc., and developing marketing materials, such as bulletin boards, print ads, social media, etc.

Serve as a resource to individuals and student groups and connect them with campus and community resources. This requires responding to requests and seeking information to answer questions appropriately.
Host Student Leadership Institute sessions, facilitating sign-ins and assisting presenters as needed.
Participate in training and development workshops and attend weekly staff meetings every Monday from 5:30-6:30pm.
Have a flexible schedule and be available to work during the day, evening, and occasionally on weekends.
Work 10-15 hours per week, with about 6 hours spent at the OSE or SAC desks and the remainder of the time doing other project work.

      Ithaca College is a private residential college in the scenic Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. Located in one of America’s top college towns, IC boasts a lively and sophisticated residential community that takes full advantage of its stunning natural backdrop and a local community rich in arts and culture.

      At Ithaca College, faculty and staff work together to make students ready for success in an evolving world.

      The college is an internationally known and respected coeducational and nonsectarian institution with approximately 6,200 undergraduate and 470 graduate students, who come to Ithaca from nearly every state and over 70 countries. The curriculum provides more than 2,000 courses in over 100 programs of study. While the breadth of its curriculum is normally found only at larger universities, Ithaca holds fast to its tradition of close, personal instruction (11:1 student-faculty ratio).
