Above and Beyond Report Fall 2018

Another semester gone by just like that!

This semester is, hands down, the hardest I’ve ever worked for my job. This semester I basically worked 3 jobs (AT, marketing and standard desk and DMC shifts) at once with a total of 21 hours a week. I feel that I have gone well above the expectations by doing my best to meet the hours set out for me. I have created and edited plenty AT posters and done stock photography not just for the areas needed but also places that might not be seen as much such as the 3rd floor of the library, the science building, IIC and such, to try to round out the photos available. I have worked to ensure that every client in the library feels welcome and that their problems are handled with care. I have worked to ensure that students with different abilities are given the same resources as any other student (i.e. when I helped the blind student around the library by holding his hand and guiding him to the printers), I have helped people edit their papers and stayed up to an hour past work to help a client with a mental impairment edit his English paper. I have tried my best to help my fellow employee by taking shifts for them during emergencies even if it is inconvenient for me (i.e when an employee had a family emergency and I was at home and they needed a shift covered in 20 minutes so I ran to the library to get there on time)

I have had a really tough semester both personally and in school so I think I did a pretty good job 🙂

Here’s to another great semester!
