As a student leader in a paid leadership opportunity with us, we need you to:

During this, you will demonstrate a warm, welcoming attitude for every student. You will need to feel comfortable communicating with students via text messaging groups to invite them to participate in events or engage in small talk conversations.

- Have strong knowledge of the university campus: these positions are ideal for undergraduate students with a strong knowledge of campus services and resources, student leadership experience, and especially have a good understanding of the first-year student experience.
- Be legally able to work in Canada: you must have a Social Insurance Number to fulfill the position.
We see all of our student leadership positions as more than "just" paid jobs, and we hope you do too. These are opportunities to provide critical support to Renison students to support their personal, academic, and professional success.
