> Hope all is well! I’m writing to see if you or someone else at the GC CTL knows of a grad student who might be interested in working at LaGuardia as an OER adjunct. We’re trying to hire 1 or maybe 2 OER NTAs and I think someone like a GC OER fellow would be an excellent fit. I’m including the posting below but I am happy to reach out to people if you have any suggestions.
