Hi
I'm
very glad to have you on board for this year's tournament.
In your job, it is important that you be nice, helpful, and supportive to the
kids, coaches, and judges. Your exchanges with these folks is the number one
impression they get of the college and specifically of our debate program.
These
folks tend to be kind of "spaced out" in their own tournament world
but they're also smart and almost always cooperative and helpful.
YOU
SHOULD BE IN THE HUNTER FOYER AT
4:30pm on Thursday.
You'll
work with me, Jim, and my tournament assistants, with the ballots and on your
own, doing the guidework in buildings throughout campus.
When
you come to the ballroom, come up to me and tell me your name and job and I'll
get you going.
Note
that the tournament, particularly the beginning, tends to be crazy busy,
especially for me.
So,
I may be a bit delayed/distracted but just be nicely persistent and I'll be
glad to get you started.
