Senior Assistant - Early Collage Program Summer School (ECPSI)

As a Summer 2024 ECPSI/OSI Program Assistant, I played a crucial role in supporting Early College Program Summer Institutes (ECPSI/ECPOSI) students and professional staff. My responsibilities included tracking attendance, coordinating with Health Services and Residence Life staff, and performing additional administrative duties as needed. The ECPSI was a residential pre-college program at SAIC for high school students, offering for-credit visual arts courses in one-week, two-week, and four-week full-day sessions from late June through early August. The ECPOSI, SAIC’s online pre-college program, took place in two-week, half and full-day sessions from late June through mid-July. I had direct interaction with students, Continuing Studies (CS), and Residence Life staff and was closely engaged in day-to-day operations. This was a full-time, temporary, onsite student employment position from early June to August 16th, with a weekly schedule of Monday-Friday and occasional evening hours.

3. Children's Programs: These courses introduce younger children to the world of art and design, fostering creativity and foundational skills in a fun and supportive environment.

4. Teacher Programs: These are designed for educators looking to enhance their teaching practices and integrate new art techniques and theories into their classrooms.
