RE: Applications for Student Coordinator and ASC Positions
DATE: March 31, 2014 

We have openings for two Student Coordinator positions, to begin Summer Term. In addition, we have an opening for one permanent ASC beginning Fall Term and two temporary ASC positions for Fall Term only. All current student assistants are eligible to apply for these positions. Please note that length, type and quality of service will be taken into consideration during the hiring process. If you are interested in applying, please read the following information carefully.

The full position descriptions are available on the student assistant website. Applicants should read these thoroughly and address specific work responsibilities in their application letter.

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 also allowed to pick up a limited number of sub hours for Information Services Desk and Periodicals desk shifts. Specific hours to be shared by the two SCs include:

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

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

Summer Term 
Monday – Thursday:4-9:30 p.m., Friday: 4-8 p.m., Saturday: 8:30-1 p.m. & 1-5:30 p.m., Sunday: 5-9:30 p.m.

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. Please note that if the persons filling the temporary positions maintain an excellent work record, they will be given first consideration for any future ASC openings. 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. & 1-5:30p.m., Sunday: 12-3 p.m., 3-6 p.m., &        6-9 p.m.

Anyone wishing to apply for an ASC or SC position should email a letter of application to both Belinda and Aimee that includes 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 for these positions is 2:00 p.m. on Monday, April 7. Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter. As Belinda will be on vacation until the 7th, please do not hesitate to contact Aimee if you have any questions regarding these positions or the procedures for applying.
