It's time to start planning DOC Trips 2013 & welcome the Class of 2017!

Attached are the applications for the Assistant Director & Directorate Positions.

The Directorate - led by the Director & Assistant Director - is the team of students who work together to plan & execute the entire Trips program. These positions are very different than leading a trip or being on a croo, but I promise you that the hard/fun work required will be extremely rewarding.

Applications for the Assistant Director position are due **Thursday December 6th by 2pm Eastern**. The Assistant Director will work very closely with the director (me) to make Trips a meaningful and enjoyable experience for the Class of 2017. If you have led a trip before and are excited about making Trips 2013 as amazing as possible, you are more than qualified to apply! This position is paid and requires full-time work in Hanover this upcoming summer.

Applications for all other directorate positions (see below) are due Monday January 7th by 7:17pm Eastern. The Trips Directorate is an incredible opportunity to create a thoughtful and FUN welcome for the Class of 2017. We will work together to shape one of Dartmouth's oldest traditions into a meaningful experience for 1000+ new students, and 350+ leader/croo volunteers. There are many different positions on the directorate, so check out the attached applications for all the details.

The 2013 Trips Directorate includes:

-Trip Leader Trainers

-Sustainability Coordinator** (sophomores are welcome to apply!)

-Director & Assistant Director

Application Details:

Please submit your application(s) to [log in to unmask] or in hard copy to the Outdoor Programs Office in Robinson Hall by the specified date. You may apply for more than one position. The Assistant Director is selected first and will participate in the selection process for the other directorate roles.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss any of the positions, please feel free to blitz me!

Enjoy the rest of break!
