From mid May to late July/early August (exact dates TBD), we will have a variety of groups on campus. This includes summer interns, high school students enrolled in the Pre-College Program, camps, conferences (adult and youth), and other groups. The Summer Assistant(s) will play an important role in carrying out the mission of providing students and guests an enriching, enjoyable and comprehensive on-campus living experience by working collaboratively with other students, interns, professional staff, faculty members and administrators. Summer Assistants must be age 18+ prior to start date. For summer 2026, we are hiring a group of Summer Assistants who live in the residence halls and engage these students and groups. The Student Assistants are the first point of contact for students and guests, and are therefore required to be on-call. During our two Pre-College Program weeks (June 14-19 and 21-26) Student Assistants will be serving as a mentor to our participants, including living in community with them (staying in the same residence hall, eating meals with the participants, leading evening activities, and supervising them during the program - similar to a "camp counselor"). Summer Assistants are ambassadors for Conferences & Camps and UNC Asheville. Student Assistants are chosen for their leadership and communication skills, knowledge of our residence halls and policies, ability to problem solve efficiently, work professionally and independently, follow detailed instructions, maintain quality records, have good follow-through and anticipate the needs of our guests on campus. During this employment period, Student Assistants cannot hold another job on or off campus without prior approval. Summer Assistant responsibilities include, but are not limited to: - Implement all aspects of summer conferences and camps:
- Key preparation and management
- Conduct room preparations for conference guests
- Assist with all check-in and check outs
- Conduct room inspections
- After check-outs and at the end of the summer, assess for damages
- Assist with preparing the residence halls for fall occupancy
- Assist in the leadership and as a chaperone for the Pre-College Program
- Being visible and available to residents
- Rotating on-call phone for 24 hour availability
- Assistance with crisis and emergency management
- Conduct rounds on campus
- Other duties as assigned
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Compensation: - $2,500 stipend broken up into bi-weekly payments
- The amount of anticipated hours per week in the summer will fluctuate greatly. Some weeks students may work less than 10 hours. During our busiest two weeks of the summer (June 15-27), students will work closer to 70 hours a week.
- Housing provided on campus ($2,000+ value)
