Tech Lounge Student Assistant
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
Favorite Part of the Tech Lounge:
The calm atmosphere; the noise isn't overwhelming and I feel productive while I'm
there.
Specialties/Interests in Student Support:
I'm a great listener and I've been told I have a welcoming presence; I don't ever
want students to feel bad about asking for help and I want them to have to quick access
to trustworthy resources.
I'm also fairly good at finding work-arounds when running into issues with computers.
I may not always find the shortest solutions, but I'm always able to get past whatever
the problem was.
One Thing Students Should Know:
You are encouraged to come here no matter how simple your question may seem!
We're very excited to connect with students and help with whatever they need.
