OCSS is Hiring for Spring 2019!
Commuter Assistants needed! Apply by November 28th!
OCSS seeks motivated, intelligent, passionate, hardworking, and dedicated undergraduate students to employ as Commuter Assistants. These students will serve as advocates for commuter students on the UMBC campus. They will also assist with the retention of those students at UMBC through a series of well thought out programs and events. Commuter Assistants will also assist with administrative work within the OCSS office.
So what is a Commuter Assistant? What do they do?
Commuter Assistants
Commuter Assistants connect commuter students to the greater campus community. OCSS, along with Commuter Assistants, work to prevent commuter students from experiencing the age-old commuter tale of simply going to class and going home. With several events every semester, our Commuter Assistants organize fun, yet educational events where students can socialize with other commuters, connect with staff and faculty, as well as learn about on or off-campus resources.
Commuter Assistant Duties
- Support Off-Campus Student Services by working in the front office weekly.
- Serve as a role model to off-campus and on-campus students.
- Organize programming and services as part of the Commuter Assistant team and collateral project.
- Assist in development of a sense of community among commuter students.
- Assist with other Off-Campus Student Services events as needed, including, but not limited to Commuter Week, Commuter Connections, and Welcome Week.
Commuter Assistants must maintain a 2.5GPA prior to and during employment with OCSS.
Training
OCSS Commuter Assistants must attend training sessions prior to the spring semester. Student staff will be expected to assist during Welcome Week- the last weekend before classes. Student staff will work an average of 5-10 hours per week, as well as attend weekly team specific meetings on Fridays at 12pm. If you are unable to attend the training or meet this time commitment, you cannot serve as an OCSS Commuter Assistant.
