The LeaderChef project is seeking a creative and self-motivated undergraduate student to help build and manage its social media presence. The project explores the intersection of leadership and food, using a media platform to engage a public audience and examine the development of leadership skills through collaborative, kitchen-based activities.

This is a unique opportunity for a student interested in both communications and applied social science research.
