Administrative support is provided in both satellite and central areas.
Administrative support is distributed where practical, that is where the economics are sufficient to justify the distribution and where the competencies are adequate to maintain the qualities. Coordinators in the satellite areas provide reception and clerical support. Examples of satellite areas include the Carnegie Science building, Olin Arts Center, Pettigrew and Hathorn. Since satellite area coordinators support many of our colleagues, parameters are necessary for limiting the work.
