Working there is great! I've had opportunities to work in different positions such as being an engineer assistant, and being a IT assistant. As being a IT assistant at LIU, i have to control the printing box where students can pick up their prints. The main job that i do mostly is setup classrooms for the professors and help students with the computer. Over the years, I've learned not to take your job for granted. Even if its an easy job, you can get fired for the simplest task. What my boss always told me is to always expect to fail on big problems, than little ones because if you can't do the simple task, theres no use for you. I agree. The management at my job can be a little strict on certain situations which lead to workers not seeing eye to eye with the supervisors. Also, supervisor can tend to abuse their authority. you can get yelled at for leaving a door open for an empty room while you're still in the lab. However, when it comes down to that, we try to work things out for everyone so we can work together as a unit. Over the years, I've made great connections with my co-workers. Most of them now i can call friends. We can always depend on one another if one of us can't make it in. The hardest part of the job is trying not to run out of supplies for customers. If no one can get their prints, then no one can get paid.

A typical work day is to take dictations and note from the Director of the lab. Work in Quantitative Pharmacology and Pharmacometrics (QP2) include critical data management and analytic support for non compartmental analysis (NCA).
As a graduate research associate my responsibility is to develop datasets for non compartmental analysis, conduct analysis to derive PK variables as described in the given protocol. I also prepare NONMEM ready datasets.

I learnt how to apply PK/PD and M&S approaches to design and evaluate clinical and preclinical study data, characterize the kinetics of drug absorption and disposition, assess the dynamics of drug effect, and inform dose selection and go/no-go decisions.

The management were extremely supportive and almost every co-workers with PhD and Post-Doc.

Hardest part of the job is to work continuously without any break , even we had to work on every weekends.

Most enjoyable part was that I got so many friends in my team and got to learn lots of PK/PD math modeling tools like Winnonlin, NONMEM, Phoenix.

Working at Long Island University has been a fulfilling and intellectually stimulating experience. A typical day involves interacting with students, collaborating with colleagues on academic or administrative tasks, and contributing to the university’s mission of educational excellence.

I’ve learned how to balance multiple priorities, communicate effectively across departments, and support student success in a fast-paced academic environment. Management is generally supportive and values both staff and faculty input, offering guidance while encouraging autonomy.

The workplace culture is diverse, professional, and driven by a shared passion for learning and innovation. There’s a strong sense of purpose and community among staff, faculty, and students alike.

The hardest part of the job can be managing tight deadlines during peak academic seasons. However, the most enjoyable part is seeing the direct impact of your work on student development and having the chance to grow within a respected institution.

Every day is a new day to learn anything new from dealing with any given incident, writing the documents required for any incident, or interactions with residents. Working with fellow resident assistants was great as everyone had a different personality, and there was a great blend of personalities for residents to get acquainted with. Working with professional staff members is simple, as there is a mutual trust system, so the more you were trusted the more you were able to do within the area, likewise, the less you were trusted, the less you would do. Everyone had an equal opportunity to do anything they wanted to do within the field. I enjoyed interacting with all the staff members and all the residents and getting to know them on a personal level, I like the respect and boundaries that were made as a resident assistant - anytime there was an issue, I'd just have to step out my door and look at the residents, and they would understand what to do. I didn't like at times how unorganized some events may be or how last minute things may occur, but it's part of the job, and it was a flexible schedule to do anything.

A typical day on the job would involve assisting students focusing on their academic needs hiring and assigning students to tutors, making sure the computer facility is properly staffed and in order, listening to a student talk about their life, running reports and evaluating how the services we offer are being utilized, preparing for notifying students about upcoming academic supportive sessions. Working with colleagues on recruiting efforts.  Always having a knowledgeable supervisor to depend on when questions arise for proper direction to aid students with their concerns.  The hardest part of the day would be not being able to motivate a student to attend academic support services to assist them in achieving a better grade for their classes.  The most enjoyable part of the day would be when I am at my busiest and still be able to assist multiple students one after another and feel a rush of completion because I was able to help so many students.

I worked under the mentorship and leadership of Dr. Evelyn W. Castro an acclaimed educational leader who has devoted her career working in low performing schools and as former Superintendent in Community School District 17 where she was able to make  substantial academic improvements. In collaboration with the NYC Parent Academy Director I worked with partners with School District Leaders, School Principals and Staff, Parent Coordinators, District Family Advocates, and other family engagement professionals on parental involvement compliance as mandated by law as well as on parent engagement strategies throughout NYC Five Borough’s communities. We were able to do this by supporting and providing effective and practical, research-based practices to equip parents with the best strategies and resources available to help their children succeed in school.

A typical day at Long Island University is engaging and structured, whether you're working in academics, administration, or student support. Each day offers a chance to interact with students, collaborate with colleagues, and contribute to a meaningful educational mission. I learned valuable skills in communication, time management, and project coordination. Management is approachable and invested in employee development, and the workplace culture fosters academic excellence, diversity, and inclusion. The hardest part of the job can be balancing multiple responsibilities during peak academic periods, but with proper planning, it’s manageable. The most enjoyable part is being part of a vibrant educational community and seeing the positive impact on students.

I have been at Long Island University for a little over 8 months. When I arrived, the two senior members of my team left LIU within 3 months. Therefore, I found myself the senior, and sole member of Transfer Admissions with only 3 months experience. 

The managers at LIU really knew how to handle such a difficult situation and made what could have been a disastrous experience very rewarding. I am not micromanaged on a day-to-day basis and as long as the results are there, my immediate supervisor allows me to proceed accordingly. 

Co-workers are all like-minded, well educated young adults like myself. The hardest part of the job that as of now I am currently running the Transfer team with the help of the Associate Dean only. In the past there were at least 3 other counselors working at one given time.

A typical day at Long Island University is filled with meaningful work—whether you're engaging with students, managing academic programs, or supporting operations. You’ll find yourself collaborating with passionate professionals and helping students achieve their goals. I’ve learned valuable skills in leadership, time management, and academic administration. Management is supportive and communicative, and they provide clear expectations and consistent feedback. The workplace culture promotes inclusion, learning, and mutual respect. The hardest part of the job is balancing responsibilities during peak academic periods, but strong team dynamics make it manageable. The most enjoyable part is being part of a community that values education and student success.



As an employee of LIU for the better part of 6 years, I have learned skills that have made me a valuable asset to have in an office.  Most recently, my ability to delegate responsibility, be meticulously organized, and manage my time effectively has been challenged with the undertaking of a new project.  I am happy to say that I have excelled and now realize that I am capable of so much more and desire to be challenged in another field of higher education has increased.  
 
The upper management style here can be closed off and lacks transparency.  An employee can feel that they are unable to approach the upper management and express themselves for fear of not being heard. 
 
The best part of my day is speaking with a student who has had a positive experience because of me and who has left me feeling better about not only themselves, but about their future.
