Located in the twin cities of Bloomington and Normal, the university is two and a half hours from Chicago, three hours from St. Louis, and one hour from Urbana-Champaign. Qualifications: The Project Administrator’s task will be to coordinate all aspects of the project, including content identification, negotiations for use, editorial work, publicity, adminis­ tration, and assessment.
