General Information

During the summer months the Summer Camps & Conferences Office hosts over 6,000 guests in conference and camp programs. We strive to provide a consistent high level of service from mid-May through July. The University is known for courteous, friendly, and competent service and unparalleled facilities. Many of our conferences return year after year. To make our programs successful, attention and planning is given in the areas of:

  • Pre-event planning
  • Knowledgeable, prompt replies to program directors
  • Staff time devoted to check in and check out
  • Clean, comfortable rooms with satisfactory linen products
  • Visitor parking passes
  • Guest Network Accounts
  • Accurate information to Facilities, URPD, Recreation & Wellness, Registrar, Dining Services, Student Activities, Controller's Office, Communications, telecom and Multi-Media Services, Modlin Center for the Arts, Jepson Alumni Center, Weinstein Center for Recreation and Wellness, Athletics, Registrar's Office, Set Ups, On-line Registration
  • Meeting space needs, including Catering
  • Specialized technical needs and staffing
  • Clear understanding of a program's schedule and demands

Staff serves as ambassadors for the University, and must be friendly, high energy, committed to excellence, and hold team player/group work concepts. Our clients are aware they will be working with students and look forward to it. A comprehensive list of assignments is impossible due to unforeseen client needs as well as possible University conflicts. Flexibility and smiles are key ingredients.

General Responsibilities:

  • Ambassador for the University
  • Serve as a resource person for clients and guests, providing information, direction and answers in a courteous and timely manner.
  • Be aware of the various groups on campus, their schedule, their housing, catering, speaker, and meeting needs.
  • Always conduct oneself in a courteous manner towards guests and University staff.
  • Perform duties necessary to maintain conference programming.
  • All conference staff will be scheduled for on-call on a rotating basis. When on call, the assigned staff must check out master keys and cell phone no later than 6:00pm and remain on call from 7:00pm until 7:00am.  The person may leave their apartment but must stay within a five mile radius of their residence area. All pages and phone calls must be answered and logged. Failure to do so may result in termination
