JOB SUMMARY:
When you are part of the Job Rotation Program, you'll do important work that has impact, and you'll be supported in achieving your career goals. Our Job Rotation Program participants experience four 6-month rotation assignments over two years to provide broad exposure in different facets of information technology across campus.

All three tracks of the program - Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology, prepare rotators to be well-equipped to transition to permanent roles on campus at the end of the program.
