About the role

The Student Engagement Coordinator will support the comprehensive delivery of Army STEM Internships and Fellowships. RIT is the lead organization in the Army STEM Education Consortium (ASEC), a group of academic and non-profit organizations working together to administer a comprehensive portfolio of programming to attract, develop, and mentor the nation's next-generation STEM workforce. Army STEM offers enrichment experiences, competitions, internships, fellowships, and professional development programs for students of all levels and their teachers. Army STEM Internships and Fellowships enable participants to do paid, hands-on research on real-world problems under the mentorship of Army scientists and engineers at Army-sponsored university labs and U.S. Army Laboratories and Research Centers nation-wide. Army STEM Internships are open to high school and undergraduate students, while graduate students and post-doctoral scientists and engineers are eligible for Army STEM Fellowships.
