Applications for ASC and SC Positions

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 7, 2012

Lizzie Schultz will be graduating at the end of Winter Term, and thus we will have an open Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) position for Spring Term. In addition Becky Wagoner and Ryan Wolf will be graduating in June. This will create an open Student Coordinator (SC) position as of June, and an additional ASC position in the fall. Congratulations to all of these students!

We are now accepting applications for two Assistant Student Coordinator (ASC) positions. One position will have a start date of March 26^th, and the other will begin in September. We are also now accepting applications for one Student Coordinator (SC) position with a start date of June 11^th.

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 2 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 potential Saturday shift, and a 3 hour shift on Sunday. Assistant Student Coordinators are also allowed to pick up sub hours for Information Services Desk and Periodicals desk shifts. 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 Noon-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

Monday – Thursday 9-Midnight

Friday 5-8 p.m.

Sunday 9-Midnight

December Term

Monday – Thursday 5-9:30 p.m.

Saturday 9:30-4

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 email 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 Wednesday, February 15. Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions regarding these positions or the procedures for applying.
