Presently there are over 100 STAs at Seton Hall. She has worked on web pages, taught classes on creating web pages, and is using Lotus Notes. Dr. Phil Long then joined and described the STA programs he has been involved with, both in his prior position at Wiliam Paterson College and presently at Seton Hall. On average, students are available for about 2 years before they move on. The coordinator position requires someone with a background of teaching, people skills, some technical skills, and a clear understanding of the program goals.
Applicants provide a resume and a statement of interest.
We also conduct interviews, more to identify personal skills, not to asses technical skills. About 30 at William Paterson and 28 here at Seton Hall. Others are more interested in learning about hardware or software. I think small teams are the only way to grow a program. Ours are about 6-8 in size, with a student serving as a supervisor.
