Job Description:

The School of Music is looking for up to two graduate music performance students to support the development of our very important printed performance programs. Program layout and development are needed for all ensemble, faculty, guest and student recitals. These programs are developed within Adobe Express, printed through the Copy Center and some are posted online for livestream viewers, necessitating timely and flawless execution for the sake of our performers and audiences. Familiarity with music performance, Adobe Express and adherence to our strict style guide are crucial.

Program content must be produced on a tight timeline, with an overall two-week turnaround required for design, faculty review, printing, and delivery prior to each performance. To support this process, student employees are expected to complete program layouts within one week of receiving an assignment, allowing sufficient time for the remaining review and production stages.
