Time Commitment

The time commitment for this position is significant, and often more than a student envisions. To contribute to the success of the team, all student workers are expected to work their “fair share” of events. All student workers are also expected to complete 2 office hours each week. These hours are scheduled around classes and other legitimate obligations.

In addition, student workers are assigned athletic events throughout the year. Many of these events take place in the evenings during the week and consistently on weekends (day & night). A few weeks a year, student workers may end up working as many as 15 hours in one week. Busy times are in November and February when 3-4 ticketed sports are in season. At other times of the year, this may be as low as 2 hours worked for consecutive weeks. More typically, in addition to office hours, you can expect to work 1-2 events each week.
