-<h3>undergraduate assistants</h3> - -<p class="tab30px"> -In late 2020 the shops were able to hire new undergraduate assistants. -I decided to try and shoot for higher-quality, more independent assistants. -I carefully wrote the job description to highlight the learning opportunities the undergraduates would have in this role. -I advertised the position widely, and received more than 25 applications---much more than previous years. -Importantly, we received many applications from students in engineering disciplines. -I designed and carried out an interview process, ultimately hiring two fantastic student assistants. -Working with Steve, I set up an organized system for planning out student jobs. -I'm proud to say that these new assistants are significantly more independent and useful. -</p> -
