U.S. PIRG opportunity for graduating seniors!

Hello Professor Sousa,
My name is MacKenzie Fuentes and I graduated from UPS in 2011 through the Comparative Sociology and Gender Studies departments. I am now the Program Associate for WashPIRG (Washington Public Interest Research Group), a state member of U.S. PIRG.
I have a job opportunity for this year's graduating seniors that I would love to share with the students in your department. U.S. PIRG is recruiting for two entry-level positions available nationwide: our 1-year Campus Organizing position, and our 2-year Fellowship Program (full descriptions attached).
After years of recruiting on campuses, our recruiters have found that many of the students interested in our political advocacy and organizing work do not use their campus career center as a resource. As a result, I am reaching out to your department directly to find students who are passionate about social change.
Can you forward these job postings to students through a department list-serv?
Thank you,
MacKenzie Fuentes
