Pick up hours in the department in spring!
Do you need a few hours to work in spring? We need 1 lab ass’t and one grader for intro. We could also use a Lab ass’t for E & M (you need to have taken it!) and one person to help with Astro 233 (you should have taken at least Astro 110, but you can chat with Cindy if you’re interested). Email me at tfields@carleton.edu if you’d like to work. Thanks!
