I’m new! What should I do when I arrive?

The first thing you should do when you arrive for a shift is check the Daily Sheet to see if you have been assigned to the window, and/or what tasks you have been assigned. If there are any schedule conflicts let us know and we’ll get it fixed. Some students like to take photos of the daily sheet, some the assignments on post-its, do whatever works best for you.

If you are assigned to the window, be sure to take you lab coat. You do not need to wear your lab coat in the window, only if you are going into one of the lab rooms.

If you have any questions about how to do something, please ask any of the other student employees or any of the staff. We are here to support eachother.

Handwashing

Be sure to wash your hands after completing a lab task. Handwashing can also help to prevent illnesses and the spread of infections to others<https://www.cdc.gov/handwashing/why-handwashing.html>.
