2 Lawrence, KS Job Details $15 an hour 5 days ago Qualifications English Full Job Description Position Overview International Short Programs (ISP) is seeking several Student Leaders for July 2026. ISP Student Leaders will assist with orientation, cultural, or program activities scheduled for visiting international groups for roughly 8-32 hours a week during the month of July. The two programs that are currently planned for July 2026 include a 10-day youth summer camp held from July 12-22, and a 5-week academic program for college-aged students July 5-Aug 4. It's a dynamic environment with an opportunity to work with campus visitors and students from around the world. Help us welcome them to KU! The International Short Programs department (ISP) typically runs 6-12 short-stay programs annually for international students and professionals. Programs usually include an academic component but almost always have a strong emphasis on extracurricular activities and experiential learning. During weeks that ISP is supporting visiting groups, candidates can expect to work 8-32 hours weekly for occasional program preparation (in-office), campus orientation activities, or off-campus trips and experiential activities, which may include evenings or weekends. Weekly work hours may fluctuate based on the needs of the programs, which vary. In times when ISP has no visiting groups, no regular weekly hours will be guaranteed. This position is directly connected to International Short Program's sponsored programs. Any cancellation of or changes to the programs by the program sponsors (the sponsors are not part of KU) will directly affect this position. If available, hired candidates may be asked to participate in short training sessions or informational meetings as early as June 29, 2026. Job Description 75%
