Twice they will "station" for less than an hour in locations where they are easily seen and three times take walks through campus seeking out folks that might need help. Additional responsibilities include attending regular staff meetings and trainings, giving short presentations, staffing tables at resource fairs (including during option daytime work hours), and serving as a nighttime transportation and safety resource.
