Experience with Federal TRIO programs is preferred and demonstrated supervisory experience and fiscal/budgetary management is required.
Please be sure to include a cover letter, resume or curriculum vitae and three references including names, titles, full mailing address, telephone numbers and email addresses. Review of applications begins immediately.
