My typical day begins at 7:15. I have been opening the CSCC IT Support Center for 3 years. I have learned valuable skills in interpersonal communication and team work. I have also learned a lot about Virtual Machines, SEP, AD, SCCM, Novell Zenworks and GroupWise, MS Outlook, MS Office 2007, 2010, 2013. I am also assisting in rolling out the Office 365 upgrade to our students.
Management was awesome, until my manager left. It is now run by a temporary manager who currently has another full time job at the college. It is understandably a tough spot for this person to be in, and he does the best job he can. My only concern is that my manager has been gone for 3 months, and they have yet to post his job.
I love my co-workers. We work together so well, and they are kind, understanding and they truly do their best. 
The hardest part of the job is trying to walk an end user through a process you don't fully understand. I try very hard to learn as much as I can about technology, but it changes so quickly, that it can be tough to stay on top of it all.
I love my co-workers, I love the students, and I love the vibe of the college. It is a very positive place to work. I enjoy seeing students strive, achieve, and above improve their lives through education.

Provide customer services to clients to enhance there educational experience by telephone. Answers questions about application process, admissions sessions, testing requirements, necessary documentation, testing locations, available advising consultations, available career paths, making appointments, available advising hours, make and cancel appointments, provide information on financial aid assistance, verify the receipt of necessary documentation, directions to all company sites, directions to website and online systems, register for classes, take payments. Learned how to use various computer systems, keep up with changing rules and regulations, find answers with limited time under hurried conditions, and deal with difficult cliental. Facilitated training for department in areas of constant change to provide consist help. Great group of coworkers many of switch are trying to better themselves. The hardest part of the job is staying current with changes when the information doesn't not flow through the department. The most enjoyable part is making someone who thinks they couldn't get help feel good about the help they have received to make the process flow for them.

As an adjunct faculty member at Columbus State Community College, I've had a tremendously positive experience. From the outset, the atmosphere on campus has been welcoming and inclusive, fostering a sense of community among staff and students alike.

Columbus State offers excellent support for adjunct faculty, providing resources and opportunities for professional development. The administrative team is responsive and accessible, ensuring a smooth teaching experience.

One of the most remarkable aspects of the college is its diverse student body, which brings a wealth of perspectives and experiences to the classroom. Engaging with such a varied group of students makes teaching here both enriching and rewarding.

Moreover, Columbus State Community College prioritizes innovation in education. Faculty are encouraged to explore new teaching methods and incorporate technology into their curriculum, keeping education dynamic and relevant.

Overall, my time at Columbus State has been fulfilling. I'm grateful for the chance to contribute to the academic success of our students and to be part of such a supportive and vibrant educational community. I enthusiastically recommend Columbus State Community College to both educators and students seeking an exceptional learning environment.

CSCC stays ahead of the game when it comes to technology, learning, and teaching. They have several workshops for teacher's professional development which assist the teacher's ability to be more productive in the classroom. There are ways for students to become involved and for students to get the most of of their education, including tutoring services. The faculty and staff are friendly and professional. I have enjoyed working there, I have gained a wealth of knowledge, and I have been able to get involved with many communities.

The hardest part of the job is being an adjunct. It is not easy not having benefits nor having the ability to get discounted rates for insurance. We do not get the bonuses that staff are able to get, but the pay rate is fair and pays the bills. Although, there is the possiblity for advancement to full time work. With the Ohio requirement that a M.A. be in the subject area and not in my area of Education, it is not a quick option for me. Currently, I am planning to return to school, but that has to be worked into the budget.

Overall, Columbus State is a great place to work!

I had worked as lab assistant at Columbus State Community College from 2014-2015, and this position gives me a very good time working with everyone and numerous experiences relating to my major.
      I frequently support students to finish their work, paper, researches, guide those who rarely use or don't use computer to become familiar with computer skills, and I also learn some more useful social skills because I usually have to talk with students, help them to figure out their problems and then guild them to get their job done well.  
      Sometimes, I can't resolve some students because of my experiences. This problem didn't trouble myself because everyone at the workplace has to work as a team and help each other to help students become. So every time I get stuck with students' problems, I get support from other members and also gain some new experiences from them.
      All-in-all, working as lab assistant give me numerous helpful things, and I learn many new skills and also make some new good friends.

CSCC has been a great place to work.  If you obtain a position that fits your schedule, you are pretty much set for as long as you want to stay.  If you obtain a Full Time position, even better.  Not often does a FTE position become available, Part Time PT is nice and you get limited benefits but it is extremely hard to advance.  CSCC mostly hires in by contract with state approved funds unless an existing FTE position become available.  Each department has their own system to accomplishing tasks, sometimes it is difficult to work with another department but once you have a relationship, its typically a smooth and collaborative effort.  Management is extremely flexable and goes to great lengths to make associates feel comfortable.  Its fun to interact with faculty, staff, and students, in a diverse community on the campus.

Daily task for reviewing documentation from students with disabilities. Meeting with students and participating in intake process, assigning accommodations. I've learned so many things about the world of disability and what assistance is available in higher education as well as the work place. The management is thorough and helpful with everything that I have needed and cares about my mental health and family life. We treat one another with respect in the office. I cant speak on behalf of the entire college; however, I feel as this is the case in accessibility and testing.  I don't feel as there is any hard part of the job honestly, It can be tough to see the students not successful even with accommodations but other than that it is good job. Most enjoyable is being about to help the students. 

My typical day at work would include answering calls, paying fee's, registering classes, giving general information concerning financial aid.

What I have learned here is excellent customer service skills. I have learned great work ethics, and most of all patience.

In my department there is great management staff that is always here for us to help, to listen and encourge.

The co-workers that I work with are very good co-workers and we do work as a great team together.

The hardest part of the job is sometimes it can become stressful through the busy times.

The most enjoyable part of the job is that even through the stressful times we come together as a team to be there for each other.

I teach graphic design to college students. I enjoy teaching students and helping them reach their goals. I'm currently teaching high schoolers from Afrocentric High School who come to campus 3 days a week to experience a college classroom. 
The professors in the department are really great and motivating. I feel very comfortable, with the freedom to structure my classes in my own way. 
The hardest part of my job is grading. It's tedious and time consuming and I don't enjoy it.
The most enjoyable part of my day is interacting with students and inspiring them.
