TO: Oesterle Library Student Assistants
FROM: Belinda Cheek, Coordinator of the Student Assistant Program
RE: Applications for One Student Coordinator Position and Two Assistant Student Coordinator Positions
DATE: February 4, 2011

Two of our Assistant Student Coordinators will be unable to continue their positions for Spring Term. Brittany will be student teaching, and Melissa is graduating at the end of Winter Term. In addition, one of our Student Coordinators, Lisa, will be graduating at the end of Spring Term. Congratulations to all three!

We are now accepting applications for two Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) positions with a start date of March 28th. We are also now accepting applications for one Student Coordinator positions with a start date of June 13th.

The SC and ASC positions have different responsibilities. These are outlined in the full position descriptions that are posted on the Student Assistant website under “Job Responsibilities.” Please be sure to read these descriptions carefully if you are considering applying for either of these positions! Minimally, a student assistant must have completed 3 terms of working at the library (as of the end of Winter Term) in order to be eligible to apply. All applicants must have a strong work record, be dependable, and have excellent customer services skills.

ASC Positions:

There is no increase in salary level for ASC positions. However, as these positions require additional responsibilities, they are a great addition to your resume! When asked to do letters of recommendations for students in these positions, we are always careful to indicate the additional responsibilities and the fact that the student was selected for one of just 3 positions. Please keep in mind that these positions require working 1-2 nights per week, a Saturday shift, and a 3 hour shift on Sunday. Assistant Student Coordinators are only allowed to work and sub for ASC hours. ASC positions do not require summer or December Term hours. Specific hours to be shared by the three ASCs include:

Academic Terms
Monday – Thursday: 5-9 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m.- 1 p.m., and 1-5:30 p.m.
Sunday: 12-3 p.m., 3-6 p.m., and 6-9 p.m.

SC Positions:

The salary level for an SC is $10.30 per hour. Please remember that SCs are expected to work very specific hours (which include both summer and December Term hours). Student Coordinators are only allowed to work and sub for SC hours. Specific hours to be shared by the two SCs include:

Academic Terms
Sunda – Thursday: 9-Midnight
Friday: 5-8 p.m.

December Term
Monday – Thursday: 5-9:30 p.m.
Saturday: 9:30-4 p.m.

Summer Term
Monday – Thursday: 5-9:30 p.m.
Friday: 5-8 p.m.
Saturday: 8:30-1 p.m. and 1-5:30 p.m.
Sunday: 5-9:30 p.m.

Anyone wishing to apply for an ASC or SC position should submit a letter of application to me that includes the position you are applying for, the number of terms you have worked, areas in which you have worked, and reasons you feel especially qualified for the position.

The deadline for applying is Noon on Monday, February 14. Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter. The newly hired ASCs will begin their new schedule on Monday, March 28th. The newly hired SC will begin his/her new schedule at the beginning of Summer Term (June 13th).

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding these positions or the procedures for applying.
