This position requires excellent communication, organizational and interpersonal skills.
- General Member (6 positions): For students who have a keen knowledge of, or interest in, trending health topics and are looking to gain experience in leading and supporting event planning, this position requires strong organizational and interpersonal skills and the ability to work both individually and as part of a motivated team in a fast-paced, professional environment.
To apply, McMaster students can find the postings online on OSCARPlus. The deadline for applications is September 23rd at 4 p.m. A cover letter, resume and a skills matrix are needed to apply. A copy of the skills matrix can be found here: http://bit.ly/1mDslZa.

All students are welcome to attend the open houses to learn more about the work of the committee and the specific positions available for the 2014-15 academic year.
