About the Role

Working within the department of Health and Physical Education (HPED), this is a flexible position whose work schedule is variable and may include an irregular schedule of not less than three (3) hours per shift and up to thirty-five (35) hours per week.

The Project Assistant supports the Supervisor and team in the HPED program by handling daily administrative, organizational, and coordination tasks to keep the project on schedule. This teaching and learning enhancement project seeks to enhance student engagement, connection, and sense of belonging within the PHYL 4550* learning environment by introducing more integrative and applied learning opportunities.

Responsibilities

• Organize project meetings and work closely with the ADC specialist.
• Assist with plan development.
• Contribute to learning resources.
• Dissemination of project process and results.
• The incumbent will review the course content and available literature to recommend how to combine content to create an engaging and effective activity to build with ADC.
