PROMOTION: Become a Grit Guide

Thu, 02 Dec 2021 09:37:15 -0500

The Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation is hiring, and you are invited to apply! We are looking to grow our invaluable, enthusiastic, talented, and close-knit team of Grit Guides, and we're hoping you will consider joining us!

The reasons to become a Grit Guide are endless!

The Grit Guides are the life blood of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and the work that they do is crucial to the mission of the department. We value and respect them as critical workers and colleagues.

If you love UMBC and want to share information about our institution with prospective students and families; if you are interested in showing visitors our beautiful campus and assisting students with the application process; if you are interested in an on-campus job; if you are interested in joining a team of students that support each other, encourage each other, and learn new skills together; if you want a flexible work schedule; if you want to gain skills and experience that will help you in your career after UMBC, then you should apply!

Deadlines and timelines!

The deadline to apply to be a Grit Guide for the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and Orientation is Friday, December 3. We hope to be able to make employment offers prior to winter break and to train our new hires when we return to campus for the spring semester. (All trainings will be paid!)
