Announcement: On Campus Jobs will now be posted on ZebraNet Stony Brook is transitioning from SOLAR to a new and improved system for publicizing on campus jobs (FWS, Student Asst, etc.)! Departments will continue to use SOLAR for processing employment, but the job postings themselves will now be listed through the Career Center's ZebraNet database. Students will now have one site to search for all types of work experiences. Stephanie Rovello (Financial Aid) and Kim Rant (Client Support) have been key participants in this transition. We are confident you will find ZebraNet easy to use and a great improvement over SOLAR for recruitment. To find out if you have a ZebraNet account contact the Career Center at 2-6810. If not, one will be created for you. Please direct students to www.stonybrook.edu/career for ZebraNet information. https://www.myinterfase.com/stonybrook/resources/resource_view.aspx?token=JZhH13a4vGqi9 Lt22Pudeg%3d%3d Submitted by: Andrea Lipack/OSA 2.
