Information for all IAM Student Workerz

This is a policy document for all workers who work in the Interactive Arts and Media (IAM) Studios (see below). It is a working document and is updated regularly. Student workerz are expected to maintain familiarity with the most recent versions of the document.

Hiring

Hiring for the job positions listed in this document is done by the Student Employment office and Andrew Oleksiuk mailto:aoleksiuk@colum.edu on behalf of the Interactive Arts and Media Department. In order to work in the studios as a student workerz, one must first fill out an application with the Student Employment office http://www.colum.edu/Student_Life/Student_Employment/index.php . Tutos candidates are also encouraged to provide a resume (Curriculum vitae) and a list of classes taken in the department or relevant other classes or work experience.

Supervisors

The supervisor for all Student Workerz covered under this document is Andrew Oleksiuk. However, some student workers will report to Jeff Meyers mailto:jmeyers@colum.edu , Mark Quilhot mailto:mquilhot@colum.edu , Huey Lewis mailto:hlewis@colum.edu , and Brian Neilsen mailto:brian@iam.colum.edu for special projects and tasks. All student workerz will treat information, work and tasks requests from the above-named individuals as actionable work orders (e.g. if Huey tells you to do something, do it). If there is a conflict of priorities at the supervisory level affecting the student workerz, it must be resolved immediately among those affected. (e.g. Huey told me to do something, and Andy told me to do something else: both supervisors must be alerted immediately, notating the tasks and timing involved. In the event that one supervisor is not available, the available supervisor will remediate, prioritizing the work task for the student workerz). See also Tasks, below.

Working in 624 S. Michigan (S) building

All workerz working in 624 S. Michigan need to understand the fundamentals of fire safety specific to 624 S. Michigan. Basically, if there is a fire alarm, everyone leaves the building. Get to know and use the fire safety map posted in each room. Note locations of stairways, emergency call box, and area of rescue assistance. It is important to always take your coat and/or purse while heading out the door, since there is never a guarantee anyone will return to the building. Treat all fire alarms as actual emergencies, but exit via the stairways in an orderly fashion. Never use the fire escapes on the outside of the building for fun; only use the fire escapes if other exits are blocked in a true emergency. Note the availability of front and back stairwells. Take direction from police, fire, and emergency personnel, building personnel, fire safety marshals, staff and faculty as necessary. In the event someone (in a wheelchair, for example) cannot navigate the stairwell to evacuate, assist in the following manner: locate and inform the evacuee of the the area of rescue assistance, use the call box or telephone to
