SEPTEMBER 4 - SEPTEMBER 11 NEWS JOIN A COMMITTEE Apply here if you're interested in becoming more involved with any of the amazing committees in WECE. The application closes on Friday, September 8th. DESIGN ASSISTANT OPENING If you are interested in learning more about design, we have an opening for a design assistant to our Creative Design Director. This is a role comparable to a committee member however there is only one opening. We are looking for someone to shadow the Creative Design Director position and collaborate on design work. There will be a lot of inter-committee collaborations because of the nature of the design role and, while prior design software experience is desirable, it is not required. Please contact Ying Chen at ychen250@illinois.edu for more information.
