Friday, 7:45am to 5:15pm
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 7:45AM on FRIDAY to tell me that you are
starting.
When
you come to the ballroom, come up to me and tell me your name and job.
Note
that the tournament, particularly in the morning can be a bit crazy, especially
for me.
So,
I may be a bit delayed/distracted.
GIVE ME YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER BEFORE
YOU HEAD TO MAXEY.
WHAT
KIND OF CLOTHES TO WEAR?
Casual nice/Casual. No need for anything fancy but I would prefer you
look neat and ready to help people!
