Misc. Notices Maintenance, Jobs

Notice of Site Maintenance
Our site servers will be undergoing routine maintenance this weekend. Beginning on the night of Friday March 30, visitors may experience brief periods in which they find this site temporarily inaccessible. The maintenance will be conducted on portions of the IMDiversity.com and the Job Bank at THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Online. We will work to complete the maintenance with minimal disruption to our users, and thank you for your patience.

Added: Featured Jobs @ IMDiversity
IMDiversity has added a new Featured Jobs page on our main website to call attention to open positions of interest in a variety of fields and at various levels. At this time, there's no single criterion for a job's inclusion on the list at this time; some positions are editors' choice; others are interesting positions whose posting is about to expire; others have been flagged as good jobs where the employer is especially actively interested in filling; still others are positions worthy of a shout because they are high-level, or are geared to providing a service for the particular good our multicultural communities. We encourage you to visit Featured Jobs whenever you stop by the site to see what's new.

Annual Summer Gigs Feature
IMDiversity has updated its special seasonal section dedicated to providing job outlook information and featured opportunities for recent graduates and other entry-level jobseekers, as well as internships and other summer opportunities. The one-month feature is the perfect thing for student procrastinators who have not yet nailed down an internship or for those about to graduate still looking for their first job. Visit the Summer Gigs 2007 section now.
