I've been working part-time this semester at the Center for the Study of World Religions. I applied for the job and started working there in either late January or early February, I can't remember. I'm really enjoying the job though. The CSWR is affiliated with the Divinity School and provides various lectures and events relating to the study of world religions (obviously). I staff the front desk a few afternoons a week and do lots of other office projects for the staff. It's very similar to the office work I did when I worked at SLU's Office of Undergraduate Admission. I also created and am the admin for the Center's Facebook page. You should become a Fan!
The Center has a lot of artwork around it, so I've been tasked with researching every piece and creating artwork labels we can mount next to each piece. So, that's been fun. We also have lots of events with food and drink, so I get lots of free meals which is always a plus in any job!
The staff is a great group of people and I'm really enjoyed working here. And it's nice not to see the bank account get perpetually lower. I'll also be working over the summer and next year.
And as a final note, the Center's director, Frank Clooney, happens to be a Jesuit and knows Fr. JJ, my theology mentor at SLU. Such a small world!
