Syracuse University has 10 Full Rides for African American Men and Women Interested in Studying Architecture.

Luganda Linguist Needed

Mission Essential Personnel, LLC (a recruiting agency) is looking for a candidate fluent in Luganda. Unfortunately, I do not have other details at this time except language and that it is supporting the FBI.

Interested candidates may submit their resumes to the recruiting specialist Ms. Jennifer Coulter at jennifer.coulter@missionep.com as a preliminary step for consideration.

The position however requires US citizenship- permanent residency status does not qualify. You do not have to have a security clearance (but if so that’s great).
