Frequently Asked Questions
How many supervisors can participate?
- We aim for a cohort of about 25 supervisors. If significantly more than that register, we will select participants based on factors including: variety of departments represented, number of students supervised, and previous involvement with the Office of Student Employment. Anyone who registers and is not selected to join this cohort will have preferential registration for the next cohort.
What if I just started supervising student employees?/What if I’ve supervised student employees for a long time?
- Regardless of how much supervisory experience you have, you are welcome to join us! New supervisors can make sure they’re starting off on the right foot, and more experienced supervisors can draw on that experience to hone their skills. You will also engage in building community with other supervisors across campus and learn from their experiences.
What if I have accessibility concerns?
- We want to make sure everyone is able to engage in our programming to the fullest degree possible! For virtual events like this, that means we will enable captions, provide materials for review afterward, and strive to implement principles of Universal Design for Learning. While this is a highly participatory program, we also recognize that people participate in different ways. For any questions about accessibility or to request accommodations, please reach out to us at stuemp@du.edu and we will do our best to make it happen.
