Position Descriptions
Engagement Intern

They can often be found meeting students on campus or around town. The
Engagement Internship is all about innovation; creative energy and generating fun and
meaningful Jewish experiences at UO is what engagement interns strive to accomplish.

During the 17-18 school year, the Engagement Intern cohort will learn about UOs
campus culture by meeting and discovering students interests and attitudes related to
Jewish life.
