The shift for night school supervisor would begin at 4:15pm. The classrooms were unlocked, chairs and tables were set up and the rooms straightened and cleaned for the evening classes. 
      The instructors would be able to request use of AV equipment and other visual aids for the evening. That usage was logged for record and the set up was done before the beginning of the class.
       After classes started, a walk by would be taken every fifteen (15) minutes to check on the progress of the classes and to make sure the building was secured. 
        At the end of the evening after everyone left the building, the rooms were straightened, equipment was removed and returned to lockup, and  the doors to the classrooms locked.
        By 9:30pm, the building was empty and the doors were secured for the night by the janitorial staff.
        During registration period, tables with information and signup materials were available for perusal by potential students and data entry was done to register the students.
         There was nothing hard about this job. It was enjoyable to be able to aid instructors in the educational process.

The college is cutting edge in delivering a quality education to its students and is committed to eliminating all socio-ecoconomic gaps in education.  Unfortunately there is a disconnect in delivering this same commitment to loyal and dedicated employees. 

 A significant percentage of management are more concerned with micromanaging day to day operations than developing effective work teams. They need to cultivate a strength based leadership culture rather than historical precedence.  In my opinion, they would be far more successful in delivering college wide strategies if they simply followed the same model they are with students, by understanding helping every employee to become the best version of themselves through strength based job sculpting and connecting passions to positions

This group of management  fails to realize they can accomplish so much more by embracing differences rather than eliminating them in the workplace.

I enjoyed the college vibe, the students, and overall the job was great.  Only a couple of issues occurred that may have affected my job performance as a shooting in the Washington area made me a bit paranoid when my students were going outside to draw.  This was a well-known beltway case which involved a number of deaths, and I have to admit many of us were a bit nervous.
I felt I worked as hard as anyone who was in his/her first semester of teaching anywhere, and I put in far more preparation hours than most seasoned instructors at that time.  I had taught roughly 10 years in Nebraska, so I knew what I was doing.  I found a more challenging group at AACC, due to the fact that this school is not a campus where students are residing and therefore they seemed anxious to do their work and hurry to either do a job or split.  I could sense it on many occasions.  But overall, my students were great and performed well in both my Design and my Drawing classes.  It was a great experience!

A typical day at work would include delivery and set up of AV equipment, tutoring students in the Technology lab, assisting Network Administrators in developing images for the computers, and assisting faculity and staff with the use of equipment in the lecture hall and technology classrooms. I learned a great deal about advanced AV systems and network administration during my employment. I worked with another Lab Technician and two Network Administrators. I was employed as a Full Time Temp. making $11 an hour, with absolutely no benefits . The moral at AACC was extremely low, as the majority of employees had no benifits and were concidered Temps even after a number of yeaars of employment, this made for a long day working in a gloomy workplace. I enjoyed working with the students on their assignments the most.

Not a bad experience. Yours would entirely depend on the department you work for and the immediate supervisors. I worked in a variety positions over the years as I got promoted and moved to higher paying jobs there. The culture and environment changed, of course, over the years as people retired and market/industry conditions changed. Enrollment went down and funding was cut. Therefore, many money-saving measures were implemented and some of the good times we used to largely enjoy suffered. AACC did do their best to retain employees, however, and postponed layouts for as long as they could. They also snuck in raises when they could. Overall is was a good place to work. Many amazing people there. I was there for 26 years, and it was not at all uncommon for folks to stay much longer than that. For people to stay so long there must be some very good things about the place. 

I worked well with Administration staff.Student learner behavior was challenging but I had a very strong educational background to support skill learning. I enjoyed seeing the student level of learning growth and skill practice development. The clinical site presented some challenges but were doable to support student learning.

Working as a Service Learning administrative assistant, I was able to work with college students that were required to volunteer in their field of study.
This was close to my home in Annapolis and working with the students gave me a feeling of helping the next generation find their way in the work force.
I gave out information on the different companies they could volunteer for, kept track of their hours on the data base, gave presentations for the students, and assorted administrative duties as required.

Being a supplemental instructor for AACC was challenging, but only in a fun way, and extremely rewarding. I only ever got truly helpful feedback from my colleagues and supervisors, the students were engaged and active in their studies, and overall, it was a great way to boost my own educational experience as a student while also making some extra money and be apart of something I was proud of. If you're willing to put in the time and effort, it was a great job and a wonderful environment to work in.

There are opportunities for growth, but the pathway to advancement is generally a few years of being overworked and underpaid. 

Institution also struggles to support non-traditional students alongside traditionally aged college students. Overall a great place to gain skills as someone early in their career. Would not recommend for a mid-career professional unless your unit has a clear pathway to advance, ask in the interview.
