Meet our first pre-conference presenter, Miranda James! Read more about their session through the link in our bio. Centering Student Learning in Campus Jobs This session is a case study of how the Multicultural Center (MCC) at Clackamas Community College is hiring, onboarding, and offboarding student employees differently. Whether you have student workers with very specific job responsibilities, or more ambiguous job responsibilities, this session is for you! In summer 2023 I wanted to change up how I recruited and hired student employees, and find ways for more buy-in from the students and their work. After re-centering the MCC’s mission statement, I created a process for hiring, onboarding, and evaluating students that is mission driven and co-created with students. Specifically this session will cover: 1. How to identify actionable pieces of your department’s mission statement 2. Building individual position descriptions with students 3. Using that position description as their roadmap for work, that in turn becomes their evaluation.
