Want to get paid for eating on campus?
Sign up for Cornell Dining's Mystery Shopper Program!
Each shopper is assigned three "shops" in different eateries during the course of each semester, and after dining, completes an online questionnaire regarding their visit. Each shopper then gets paid (in BRBs) $10 for each retail shop visit (ie. Bear Necessities, Libe Café) and $12 for each dining hall visit.
Mystery shoppers must complete a brief training session prior to their assignments.

The French Burkini Ban: Secularism, Security and Politics of Gender
5:00 - 6:30 PM Tuesday September 27th, 2016
G-76 Lewis Auditorium Goldwin Smith Hall
This summer, about 30 French towns passed laws banning the 'burkini' – full-body swimwear typically worn by Muslim women – from public beaches. The rationale behind these laws ranges from upholding French laïcité to seeing burkini as symbolic of enslavement of Muslim women to concerns over national security and public order especially in the wake of recent terror attacks in France. Critics of the ban, however, have called the laws Islamophobic and misogynist, seeing it as a continuation of the French colonial ‘civilizing mission’ and highlighting the marginalization of the Muslim minority in France.
Join us to engage in an important conversation moderated by Prof. Satya Mohanty on security, gender and racism in the context of French secularism with three distinguished Cornell professors: Prof. Camille Robcis, Prof, Durba Ghosh, Prof. Richard Miller. Find more details on the Facebook event page here.
Organized by the Islamic Alliance for Justice. Cosponsored by: MITWSrg(Minority, Indigenous & Third World Studies Research Group), Cornell University Department of History, The Cornell Program on Ethics and Public Life, Cornell Asian Pacific Islander Student Union - CAPSU, Arab Student Association at Cornell. APAA | Asian Pacific Americans for Action at Cornell University, Cornell University Pakistani Students Association, ALANA Intercultural Board, Amnesty International at Cornell University, MEChA de Cornell, [BSA] Bengali Student Association | Cornell, Cornell Organization for Labor Action, Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies at Cornell University, Cornell Students for Justice in Palestine, Cornell MECA - Muslim Educational and Cultural Association
