Federal Work-Study Geology Student Assistant *Student Position Only*
Student worker job in Bend, OR
The COCC Geology department is blessed with a spectacular collection of rocks, minerals and fossils. These objects could be of tremendous educational value, not just to COCC Geology students but also to our larger community. For example, K-12 educators frequently contact our Geology department looking for educational resources like rocks / minerals / fossils. However, the collection is poorly organized, and therefore difficult to use. It can take hours just to find a handful of rocks for a useful rock kit. The end result is that most of rockin' collection never sees the light of day. Sad!
So, we would like to employ a student to organize the rock/mineral/fossil collection and make it useful!
