Student Managers are an essential part of our office—helping to coordinate and oversee mission-critical day-to-day operations. Given the duties the Office of Academic Affair assigns to certain Administrators & Coordinators to focus on work beyond the Writing Center or behind-the-scenes (e.g., assessment, serving on campus committees, professional development for instructors, managing budgets and compliance), Student Managers are crucial for making sure our core initiatives—the Writing Center, the Writing Fellows Program, Workshops, and Outreach—are running as smoothly and effectively as possible.
Working as a Student Manager gives you a chance to get more involved in our work and gives you meaningful experiences and potentially valuable transferrable skills in your professional and intellectual development.
We hire for any open student manager positions every Winter & Spring Quarter (depending on position).
We count on each Student Manager to be both
Student Managers must know and follow our Policies and in general be invested in making our workplace as effective and collegial as possible.
Whenever a Student Manager sees a policy or procedure that is inefficient, not-ideal, or otherwise problematic, we expect them to work to solve the problem and to share their concerns with their supervisor.
We expect Student Managers to be highly invested in their work and to go above and beyond in solving problems that arise.
We do not expect that Student Managers will never make mistakes or face challenges at work, but rather to face challenges and own up to mistakes and work with their supervisor and team to learn from these experiences.
