2016 Summer Conference & Event Coordinator Applications Are Now Available Online
We are currently seeking highly motivated and personable Vanderbilt students to continue the tradition of providing exemplary hospitality to our summer conference guests. The Conference & Event Coordinator or CEC position is an integral part of the Office of Conferences staff. CEC’s are responsible for the daily success of the conference program by responding to the needs of the visiting conference/event groups. CEC’s are involved in every aspect of the conference; we assist with all details of camp and conference preparation, arrival/departure, check-in/outs, housing, conference meals, transportation, and meeting space requirements.
As a gateway to campus for summer guests, the Office of Conferences is proud to host a diverse array of conference groups and summer camps right here on the Vanderbilt campus. Our summer guests include Computer Software Design Camps, Medical Center Symposiums, Teaching Seminars, Business Entrepreneurs, Programs for Talented Youth, Cheer Leading Enthusiasts, athletic sports camps, educational conferences, and many more. We also provide accommodations to students from around the country participating in local summer internships and medical research opportunities in our Summer Intern Housing Program.
While participating as a Conference and Event Coordinator, students will have the opportunity to gain leadership experience, enhance problem-solving skills, and serve as an essential member of a dynamic team working together to successfully host conferences and camps at Vanderbilt. The 2016 conference season will run from Sunday, May 8, through Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2016.
Due to the nature of the position, staff may not hold another job, but can take one summer school class while employed as a Conference & Event Coordinator. Benefits include on-campus housing, $7.25 per hour salary for a 40-hour per week, paid training, on-campus accommodations and meals when the Conference Dining Center is open.
We would appreciate you sharing this position with qualified students looking for summer employment. CEC applications and job descriptions are now available online at Vanderbilt.eRezLife.com.
