UT SIS Students:
I would strongly encourage any of you to apply for this position. I'm
an SIS grad and would be more than glad to
talk to anyone about the area. The faculty and staff here are
fantastic, the beach is only a few hours away,
and the cost of living is pretty low. My contact information is at the
bottom.
Thanks,
Michael Lindsay
