The Student Employment in Academic Libraries Virtual Symposium seeks to showcase educationally purposeful student employment. We're providing a space for colleagues who care deeply for the growth and success of students to share ideas about student employment, and connect with and learn from other practitioners.

    Tailoring Student Staff Projects as Ethics of Care
    (2024-10-25) Kohout-Tailor, Jessica; Commons, Tyler; Fiema, Madeline; Arredondo, Ivanna; Niemiec, Christian
    The purpose of our Learning Commons is to provide a central learning hub for students to find peer research assistance, use flexible learning spaces, consult with experts from student support services, attend workshops, or engage in other activities that support their academic success, professional development, or wellbeing. We hire and train Peer Research Specialists where student staff are trained to answer reference and research questions at the Learning Commons Help Desk. They also work on higher-level projects that aim to build their communication, collaboration, and leadership skills and engage students in the space. We tailor these projects to the professional growth and/or the personal interests of student staff. Learn how we use the ethics of care to create student projects and hear from students on the projects they have facilitated and completed. Projects include a food pantry drive, caring for a hydroponic garden, scavenger hunts, and more!
