Call for Applications: It's On Us Planning Committee

ATTENTION:

Graduate Students

Application Deadline: Friday, June 28

Award: $500

The Prevention, Outreach and Education Department is recruiting two (2) student co-chairs to lead the Fall 2024 It’s On Us planning committee. This student leadership opportunity is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.

It’s On Us

The mission of It’s On Us is to “build the movement to combat campus sexual assault by engaging all students, including young men, and activating the largest student organizing program of its kind in grassroots awareness and prevention education programs.” 

MSU’s chapter of It’s On Us is run by a committee of students and staff, supported by a staff member from the Prevention, Outreach and Education (POE) Department. The planning committee meets regularly to prepare for each semester’s “Week of Action”, a week of events highlighting work being done on-campus and in the Lansing community to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.

POE is excited to recruit two (2) student co-chairs to lead the fall 2024 It’s On Us planning committee.

Responsibilities

The co-chair position will entail:

  • Organizing student recruitment to the planning committee
  • Leading regular in-person committee meetings, including developing agendas
  • Proposing an event budget, in consultation with the POE department
  • Strategizing event promotion
  • Attending and participating in the Week of Action programming


In addition to the above expectations, by accepting this position, a co-chair would be committing to:

  • A weekly 1-1 meeting with a POE Staff Member
  • Regularly scheduled committee meetings

We expect the typical time commitment to be 2-3 hours per week, from the week of August 26 through the week of November 15, 2024. However, please note that weekly time commitments may vary depending on committee needs.

Stipend

A stipend of $500 is available to each co-chair, to be paid out at two points during the semester, contingent upon meeting the role’s responsibilities, outlined above.

Please note, while this opportunity is considered a student leadership position that is being offered a stipend, to honor the time and commitment by the student Co-Chairs, the University’s expectations surrounding student pay will be adhered to. Domestic students are allowed to work 29 hours/week between ALL on-campus jobs. International students are allowed to work 20 hours/week between all on-campus jobs.

If you have any other job on-campus, you will be responsible for tracking your hours to ensure you are not overscheduled.
