The Help Desk staff is trained to assist in fixing your problem or in making the appropriate referral. Two academic computing specialists, Wade Shepherd and DuBose Egleston, have recently been hired by Information Services. Wade has been assigned to the science division, and DuBose is working with the humanities, social sciences, and fine arts divisions. Academic computing specialists are technical specialists with specific expertise in academic applications, who also advise faculty on new software applications that might be useful in their classes and inform them of innovations at other institutions. Unlike the reactive nature of the Help Desk, the academic computing specialists will be proactive in their orientation.
Fellows work instead as consultants to help departments develop instructional materials.
As a roving cadre fellow, Nathan will work up to a maximum of 10 hours per week. The total number of hours each week will determined by Nathan and will depend on the demands of his academic schedule in each week. He is budgeted for a total of 32-weeks during the academic year. The remainder of his time will be spent assisting other fellows with specialized projects that require additional expertise. Hayden Porter will serve as Nathan's general mentor in these two roles.
