  • calendar and appointment management,  
  • managing and organizing information flow,

  • assisting with complex and detailed travel plans, itineraries, and agendas, including arranging travel and creating travel requests and processing expense reports, and  
  • compiling documents for travel-related meetings.  

The Aide may also be asked to take meeting minutes; draft, and/or proof-read and edit memos and other routine documents for the Director; read and summarize materials to keep the Director informed of pertinent events and information; and other duties as assigned to carry out the mission of CRFS and the Kellogg Chair.
