Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers Will manage student fundraisers to contact the constituents of MIT by telephone to solicit funds on behalf of the MIT Alumni Fund.

Responsible for monitoring calling sessions for the project, coaching callers, and assisting in development of related statistical work and training materials.

A team of two to three supervisors will be hired and will have the responsibility for covering all student calling shifts throughout this project. Calling shifts will be held on Sunday from 3-9pm and on Monday-Thursdays from 6-lOpm. Supervisors will be expected to arrive 30 nlinutes prior to each calling shift to set up for the nightly calling session and will be expected to stay 30 minutes after calling to complete nightly reports.

Each supervisor will be expected to work an average of 15 hours per week beginning at the end of March and continuing until early May. Supervisors will be paid at a rate of $12.00 per hour.

Supervision of student telephone fundraisers is highly demanding and requires a great deal of self-motivation, "people skills", and superb organizational abilities.
