Student Technology Assistant Program (STAP)

The Student Technology Assistant Program (STAP) offered by the University provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in the field of technology. With positions available in various areas, STAP offers flexible employment for approximately 20 undergraduate and graduate students from all majors each semester. STAP allows students to stay up to date with technology trends by working in the University's open computer labs where they gain hands-on experience managing critical IT infrastructure. They may also work at the Student Help Desk providing technical support to fellow students, faculty, and staff, developing their problem-solving and customer service skills. STAP members acquire practical expertise in operating and troubleshooting multimedia equipment that is valuable in professional settings such as communications and media production. The experience gained through STAP is a valuable addition to their résumé, demonstrating to potential employers that they have gained real-world experience in a technology-related role.
