The Office of Disability Services seeks a Master’s level program assistant to manage the note-taking program. Note Taking services support students with disabilities. Disability Services has recently implemented a technology-based note taking system, so it's an exciting time. Must be comfortable being a self-starter, using manuals and training videos to learn the position, with support from our team.
Additionally, this position provides assistance with support to test proctoring primarily during finals and assistance with general office functions as needed. Note-taking and testing services are academic accommodations which provide access for students with disabilities. The position is for 20 hours per week and is an on-campus position. Note that this position is typically for a full academic year, and so if it is a good fit the position could extend beyond Spring 2025.
Position is *not* remote.
