Support the execution of these events during the school year, in collaboration with the other team members in the Campus Programs division (for example, creating and overseeing advertising and promotion for events, planning speaker travel, tracking student participation at each campus, monitoring expenses, and submitting reimbursement requests).
Travel to events on occasion and publicly represent the TI at them (moderating discussions, introducing speakers, etc.).
Aid the Manager of Campus Programs in developing and implementing new strategies for the intellectual evangelization of each campus through TI programming (e.g., on-campus lectures, seminars, conferences, intellectual retreats, and new forms of campus outreach and student engagement).
