There is no interaction or exposure to the students in quarantine during delivery. Meals are left at the student's door. Training and directions for deliveries will be provided. While we may need assistance for the remainder of this year, we expect the need to pick up in late January when the University resumes in-person instruction for the Spring semester. More information about the timeline will be provided as it becomes available. This is a non-benefits eligible position.
