Event Services Student Assistant - UAA Student Position

Event Services Assistants assist and support community members and residential students who have a variety of needs, questions, and issues; promote an ethos of belonging and engagement with the community on UAA’s residential campus; and support the many aspects of Event Services at UAA. The role of the Event Services Assistant is typically a one-year position.

Event Services is the department that handles the majority of events on campus as well as long-term guest housing for non-students. We have customer service related tasks, cleaning tasks, event tasks, and a variety of special projects that come up. The Event Services student position has 3 main components. The first main component is the office hours where the student sits at the main desk, answers phone calls and emails, and fills in event requests from submitted forms. They will need to be able to assist with walk-in clients as well and keep the office presentable. The second main component are event duties where the student will need to set up events, work events, and break down events. The third main component is centered around our long-term guest housing. We clean and prep rooms and have an on-duty 24/7 phone that is on a weekly rotation with the student staff to assist current guests as needed.

To thrive in this role, a student needs to have a willingness to learn and be part of the team. We have a lot of little steps that go into the big picture and they have to be done well by each member of the team. Attention to detail, quality customer services, and reliability are all attributes that will help a student with the tasks required of them.
