Congratulations!

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Neena Jenkins as Student Coordinator (SC).  Neena will begin her new duties during Summer Term. I am also pleased to announce that Grace Goodwyn and Sarah Obrist will serve as our temporary/substitute Assistant Student Coordinators (ASCs) during Fall Term.

Please join me in extending best wishes to Neena, Grace, and Sarah in their new positions.

Performance Evaluations

Hello!

All supervisors will be completing performance evaluations for each of the student assistants that work in their unit.  Your supervisor(s) will meet with you sometime this term to discuss your evaluation.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this process.

Save the date!

Mark your calendars now for our 33rd Annual Student Assistant Picnic, Thursday, May 14th from Noon-1:30!  You won't want to miss the food, fun, and special recognition of our graduating student assistants.  We hope to see you all there!

Phone number

Hello,

 

I was recently told that a lot of the phone numbers are wrong on the student assistant website.  Take the time this week and let me know if your number is wrong on there https://sites.google.com/site/oesterlelibsa/home/student-contact-2.  Let me know by Friday of this week.

Nevermind

So I guess we will not be housing the ITS helpdesk at night so nevermind.

I am sure you guys would all be very friendly and welcoming if there had been a person here :)

Applications being accepted for ASC and SC positions

TO:                  Oesterle Library Student Assistants

FROM:            Belinda Cheek, Coordinator of the Student Assistant Program

                        Aimee Walker, ASC Supervisor

RE:                  Applications for Student Coordinator and ASC Positions

We have an opening for one Student Coordinator position, to begin Summer Term.  In addition, we have openings for 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 POSITION:

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

Monday – Thursday             Friday             Sunday

9-Midnight                              5-8 p.m.           9-Midnight     

December Term

Monday – Thursday             Saturday                   

5-9:30 p.m.                              9:30-4 

Summer Term

Monday – Thursday             Friday             Saturday                    Sunday

4-9:30  p.m.                             4-8  p.m.          8:30-1  p.m.                 5-9:30  p.m.

                                                                        1-5:30  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             Saturday                    Sunday

5-9 p.m.                                   9 a.m.- 1 p.m.              12-3 p.m.

                                                1-5:30 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 indicates which position you are applying for and 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 Tuesday, April 7.  Interviews will be conducted shortly thereafter.  Please do not hesitate to contact either of us if you have any questions regarding these positions or the procedures for applying.
