learning how to better serve their patrons.
“We have one hour a week that we have
do training, and most of it is cool stuff,”
id Frank Chance, a senior environmental
sign major. “We learn a lot of different
ff because so many people come in here
th specialized problems, and half the time
s through complicated programs.”
Chance said lab attendants rotate hour-
long shifts between the information desk,
the resource desk, the print room and the
two upstairs stations in the Student
Computing Center.
“It’s all customer service, tech support,
print-job type stuff,” Chance said. “We have
to be able to fix or find a solution to what
ever problems people encounter, and there’s
a lot of them.”
Chance said the job can be entertaining as
the workers see a lot of people.
“Everybody comes in here, and some
times you get really interesting people,”
Chance said. “Sometimes, like any job, you
don’t want to go to work, but it’s not bad
helping people out.”
Chance said co-workers and supervisers
must cooperate to promote a healthy work
environment.
“Our supervisers are great here; they’re
all quality people,” he said. “I never really
have encountered a situation, that I can think
of, where people weren’t getting along.”
Whether fixing computers or grinding
coffee beans, student workers keep the
campus turning round.

"Body piercing saved my life."
Not a pierced ear, nose, navel or tongue ... but pierced hands and feet. And not as a fashion
statement ... but as a sacrifice for you and me. Nearly 2000 years ago,
Jesus Christ was brutally nailed to a cross-crucified. Why did he suffer?
Why did he die such a cruel death? So we wouldn’t have to. Because he loves us.
“But he was pierced for our transgressions.
He was crushed for our iniquities;
The punishment that brought us peace was upon him.
And by his wounds we are healed.”
Isaiah 53:5 (New International Version)
And now here’s the real good news: he’s alive today! God is reaching out to people through His son, Jesus Christ.
To find out more about God’s relevance in your life. We encourage you to read this free article by Josh McDowell:
Does Christianity Work?
