Operations and Administrative Staff
Operations and administrative support staff are the backbone of the Science Discovery summer program! Most summer programs have quite a few moving parts, but a campus-based program provides challenges of a different type. Summer support staff serve in roles such as:
- Registrar
- Materials acquisition, coordination and management
- Materials packing and distribution
- Medication administration and behavioral needs coordination
- Camp logistics coordination
