Dear Spring 2008 Candidate:

Thank you for considering opportunities available in the Office of Residence Life at Syracuse University. Our department is an exciting and rewarding place to work and we encourage you to pursue application to one of our openings.

If you are interested in meeting with us at one of these conferences we encourage you to review complete position descriptions available on the Syracuse University Human Resources website: http://www.sujobopps.com so that you can identify which position most closely matches your education and experience level, as well as your interest. After you have applied, a member of search committee will be contacting you to set up an interview if your qualifications match ours.
