ELITE (Emerging Leaders in Technology Education)


Vogel Library, Instructional Technology, and Information Technology are collaborating on an exciting new effort to provide just-in-time technology support to students, faculty, and staff. We are implementing a program next fall called the ELITE (Emerging Leaders in Technology Education) team. Wartburg students will serve as ELITE consultants in Vogel Library.

We are looking to employee 5-7 students next year as ELITE consultants. The students will be available for faculty, staff, and students. The hours will be approximately 2 p.m. or 3 p.m. – 10 p.m. There is a strong student support aspect to this effort.

Students will be asked to be knowledgeable in one or more area (i.e. Adobe’s Creative Suite, Microsoft Office, Apple iLife, freeware, apps, programs, etc...) Training will be required of the students along with peer learning in specific areas of expertise. We are looking to cover a wide range of technological needs.

ELITE consultants will be assisting students, faculty, and staff along with providing training to colleagues and producing tutorials for the Resource page. For instance, one student who is talented in video production will help teach the ELITE team, create tutorials, and provide campus support from Vogel Library.

We need your help! Do you have a recommendation of a student who is strong in technology (one or more areas), has good verbal communication skills, and would provide excellent customer service? The job description is attached.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.  If interested, contact the Scholars Director to be nominated.
