Possible activities include program development, service delivery, program
monitoring, data collection, data entry, and program evaluation. The intern

Director of Academic Resources. The opportunity to complete a research study
is a pos!
sibility for the right candidate.

and/or disabilities. Experience delivering and/or designing support
programs. Knowledge of (or ability to learn) Microsoft and SPSS. Theoretical
