The Senior<\/span> Week Co<\/span>–Chairs<\/span> are directly supervised by Campus Life staff and work with a variety of campus partners in supporting and promoting activities to celebrate the senior<\/span> class, primarily events occurring during Senior<\/span> Week; the week prior to Commencement. Due to the scope of the work, two Co<\/span>–Chairs<\/span> are typically selected each year as individual hires that will work as a pair. Generally, Co<\/span>–Chairs<\/span> may expect to work 2-5 hours a week, with workload increasing as the end of the academic year approaches. Please note that Co<\/span>–Chairs<\/span> continue working with their class and the Office of Advancement through their five-year reunion; however, compensation is only provided for responsibilities completed during senior<\/span> year. After graduation, the role transitions to a volunteer position, with those specific duties detailed below.<\/p>\n
