DCCE: Education Coordinator (S99926)

Summary, Scope, and Responsibilities

The Dining Education Coordinator will be expected to work both independently and as part of a team of CHEWS committee members charged with educating students about Commons, healthy food choices, wellness, and ways to enrich the social existence of students. CHEWS does not attempt to change the way Commons operates. An ideal applicant not only has a love for food and wellness but, more importantly, has a desire to provide information to others about healthy personal choices in a fun and motivational way. Our purpose is not to change habits of Bates students but instead provide information that allows students to make the personal choices that are best for them.

Please indicate in your cover letter if you received work study funding.
