Assistant needed in San Antonio

[Barbara Biasiolli <bbiasiol@alvin.stmarytx.edu>]

Writing Center Folk:

Please help me find that wonderful person who makes a learning/writing
center tick.  The job has a fancy name but no one knows better than you
folks what I need -- a front line person who likes being a jack of all
trades.  The salary is not great but the opportunities to work on a
bachelor's or master's degree are excellent (full tuition rebate).  

I am looking locally since we can't fly anybody in for an interview, but I'm
hoping that putting this out on the list will help me connect with the right
person for the job.  Thanks in advance for any networking that may occur.
