OLIN GUIDE

Friday, 9:30am to 11pm

Saturday 7:45am to 4pm.

 

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.

 

See Jim in the HUNTER FOYER at 4:30pm on Thursday to confirm that you are starting and then head to Olin to begin doing your thing.

Do this again on Friday and Saturday morning.

When you come to the ballroom, note that the tournament, particularly the beginning, tends to be crazy busy, especially for me.

 

GIVE ME YOUR CELL PHONE NUMBER BEFORE YOU HEAD TO OLIN.
