This is a great opportunity for students to build their resume and learn new skills.

We understand that students have commitment to work, life, and school, though we want to reinforce this role required a certain level of commitment and follow-through.

- Perform other duties as assigned to further support the Mindful Campus Initiative project

**QUALIFICATIONS**
- Active (currently enrolled) WSD University student

- Excellent communication skills including comfort speaking in front of a group
- Ability to engage with other students from a non-judgmental place of curiosity and care while employing active listening skills and communicating mindfully
