This year campus housing is available at no extra charge for any student wishing to stay on campus during D-Term (November 30- December 18). Typically campus housing is not available during Christmas break (December 21-31). Student assistants who have questions about the availability of housing during this time should contact the office of Residence Life.

Anyone interested in a position for D-Term should complete the application form at this link and return to me by 5:00 p.m. on MONDAY, NOVEMBER 2nd.

Please Remember!

I and others have noticed that students at the information services desk are missing steps when discharging items. Please remember not only to discharge the item in the computer, but also to resensitize, stamp and put them on the cart in dewey decimal system order.

Please don't be lazy!

Changes to the website

Check out the changes I have made to the website. I have combined the "names and faces" section and the "contact list" to be the "student assistant contact information" section. In that section I have linked everyone's schedules to their names. So if you ever forget your schedule, you can take a look there.

Please take a few minutes and check out what a great looking bunch you are!

Open Shifts

Many of you have spoken to me about wanting more hours, well we have a few shifts open!

Tuesdays 4-7pm at the periodicals desk
Wednesdays 2-3pm at the information services desk
Thursdays 6-9pm at the information services desk

If you would like one of these shifts please email right away (hkkaul@noctrl.edu)

Student Assistant Website Checklist

Belinda and I mentioned on Thursday that we would be giving you a checklist of all the items that you need to read and be able to find off of the student assistant website. Those checklists are now in your mailboxes. Please read all the sections on the list, initial what you have read, and put this list in my mailbox, completed, by Wednesday, October 7th. This gives you a week and a half to accomplish the list.

Good luck!
