Re: Size and Growth
We are almost 1400 students and we have extensive hours--it used to be many
fewer, but we want to be available. We staff with students (about 10 peers) and
faculty (anywhere from 3-7). Faculty get an hourly rate. We are open
9am-12midnight Monday-Thursday; 9am-4pm Friday; closed Saturday; 1pm-12midnight
Sunday. Our evening campuses are not in proximity to our main campus (we have
satellites throughout the state), and we are preparing to undertake an on-line
access for those students who are at those Satellite campuses--we may have to
hire a peer tutor for Saturdays to answer an online request.
Cheers and good luck!
