Presentation Type: Lightning Talk

Presenters: Test, ,

Abstract: Like many Access departments, we have always relied heavily on student workers, and their hiring and training takes up a lot of staff time, but we have not always valued their input, skill development, and retention. Developing equitable processes for cyclical reviews and timely feedback offers them an opportunity to develop transferable skills, opens lines of communication, and builds transparency and trust. But student workers have feedback and opinions, too! Giving them ample opportunity to provide their unique perspective and insights can help you find solutions (sometimes to problems you didn’t even know you had)! I will cover why both giving and getting feedback, and following through, are so important and give tips based on my experience for how to do it in a way that recognizes student workers as whole people, is equitable and kind, and will foster a more welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone!
