Students can experience the world beyond Corvallis right on campus. The International Students of Oregon State University is offering that opportunity through five positions for which it is hiring.
"A lot of students think that ISOSU is a niche for international students, but it's not," said Parvathy Binoy, ISOSU's co-development coordinator.
The five newly hired personal would be working as a team within the umbrella student organization.
"There's no hierarchy, and all positions would be working to support the 13 organizations that ISOSU represents," Binoy said.
ISOSU represents about one thousand international students on the OSU campus and serves as a unifying point for 13 other international student organizations.
"When you work for this organization you're not only representing the international community on campus, but the university as a whole," Binoy said.
The positions up for grabs are internal and external development coordinators, event coordinator, finance coordinator and public relations.
"We want to stress that these positions are open to anyone, not just international students," Binoy said. "You don't need to have any international experience, you just have to be passionate and interested."
The internal and external development positions are a partnership. Currently Binoy and Catalina Vlad occupy those positions, respectively.
"The internal coordinator is responsible for a stable environment within ISOSU, and works closely with our advisor, a new position we've created this year," Binoy said.
The external coordinator is more outreach based.
"You get to work with people who have different backgrounds, and learn things that you'd never learn anywhere else," Vlad said.
Currently Vlad is in the process of developing an ambassador class, which would train students to be the international voice in a number of meetings and committees.
"We're trying to make students realize that ISOSU is not just an entertainment group, but that we're also leaders who deal with international issues," Binoy said.
