Dear Ms. Landers, My name is Allison and I work at GPI US where we create global study programs for Japanese high school groups visiting during their school vacation. Our programs consist of a variety of activities, workshops, and classes where we concentrate on giving our students the opportunity to practice skills they aren’t given a chance to learn and develop, as well as exposing them to situations and global experiences that aren’t readily available to them in Japan. We provide many opportunities for small group discussion, encouraging students to express their own ideas, discover their identity, ask questions, and to explore realms of thought and areas of interests that are new to them. We have a school group staying at Dartmouth this summer (this is actually their 2nd year at Dartmouth) and we are looking for students to help out with the program and act as discussion and conversation buddies for our Japanese students while they are on campus.
I was wondering if you might be able to share the attached two job opportunities? Please let me know if I can answer any questions you may have. Thank you, Allison -- Allison Medoff | Assistant Manager GPI US Boston 50 Milk St., 16th FL Boston, MA 02109 www.gpius.net C: 617.460.9877 |O: 617.475.1637| F: 617.514.7190
