The DAN School Undergraduate Society

We’re excited to announce that hiring is now open for the DAN Studio Series Producers, the DAN Exposition Project Artistic Producer and Project Manager, and the QUSMEA Director positions for the 2024-2025 academic year!

You may apply to only one of these positions. You can apply to other non-project-related council positions, but you will need to complete both written applications and two interviews. At your first interview, we will ask you to rank your preferences between a project leader role and other council roles.

Detailed job descriptions and application links are available in our bio. Summarized job descriptions can be found in the job application links!

We can’t wait to begin hiring these wonderful positions!

2 posts in one day? Wow, the DAN Department Student Council sure is exciting to follow!

We don’t want to be on this council alone for much longer and can’t wait to bring more of you on board! Council position applications are scheduled to go live in the next few weeks. Be sure to start thinking about what positions interest you!

FAQ #1: You can apply to multiple positions and can hold up to one position on council!

FAQ #2: Any current Queen’s student who considers themselves a part of the DAN School can apply!
