They are in charge of training the regular operators and work on additional specific projects. During their first senior year, two junior Super Operators are chosen to be Level I Master Interns. They complete two tuition-remitted Wabash courses per semester, and work half time for Computer Services. They receive certification classes and a stipend. During their second senior year, the students again take two tuition-remitted courses per semester and work for Computer Services as Level II Master Interns.
Responsibilities increase, as does their stipend.
The year after graduation, the student is employed at Wabash full time, and Wabash funds graduate school courses. The student trains and manages the Super Operators, provides workshops, and works on projects. As staff, they earn salaries and benefits. The plan has several benefits, including the freeing of senior computer staff from routine projects, the availability of training to students with marketable skills, and the presence of trained support at a lower cost.
