This position is filled by 6-8 individuals concurrently, and flexibility with scheduling is required.

The ideal candidate brings strong customer service instincts, comfort with technology, and a genuine interest in mentoring student employees. You'll serve as a front-line resource for the Champlain community - answering questions, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring the space is welcoming and well-managed.
