We anticipate scheduling 10 hours a week per student.  We will work with
students to accommodate personal and class schedule as a primary concern.

Describe how fit in

SPH IT supports all the IT needs for the school. Our Solutions Center front
desk is staffed 8-4:30 M-F, and we are under increasing demand to offer
services for classroom support and A/V event support in the evenings,
4:30-7:30. We have four full-time IT staff and two part-time GAs to
accommodate all the school’s needs, including event/A/V, desktop, network,
website, infrastructure, and research computing. Given the needs to also
cover a walk-in helpdesk 11.5 hours per day, we are struggling. As we look to
expand the support we can offer to the school, we see a valuable opportunity
for undergraduate students to get engaged with IT support, providing the
front line customer service for walk-in and emails for those requesting help.
Students will gain valuable skills and understanding in both IT and
professional communication with customers. We see this as the beginning of a
program to support and increase capacity of students as well as our existing
team, much like UMIACS has done with their exemplary student worker program
over the years.


Describe schedule/flex


Orientation will be provided for all SPH facilities and technology that will
be needed.   We will provide any ongoing training needed to accomplish
duties.  Supervision will be provided by the current IT coordinator.
