 =====The Job Descriptions===== =====The Job Descriptions=====
  
-====Colloquium Tea==== +**Note: currently out of date.**
-The big job!  Colloquium Tea is a weekly event held in the lounge where the department gathers with the speaker and eats.  Being a Tea Slave involves a lot of work, including acquiring funds, shopping in the days before colloquium, preparing the colloquium tea, and cleaning up.  This job should be held by 3-4 second year students per semester, and at least one of them should own a car.  The student in charge of funding should visit this  [[student_jobs:ASS|page]] detailing its complexities, its secrets, and the inner workings of ASS.  +
- +
-[*Also note that during years when the department is recruiting new faculty, there will likely be extra colloquia during the Spring semester. Thus extra people should hold the Tea job for semesters with job searches, if at all possible.*] +
 ====Projectionist==== ====Projectionist====
 The department projectionist makes sure that the weekly colloquium speakers can project their talks.  This involves getting and setting up the projector (if there isn't one already in the room where the talk is to be held), ensuring the speaker is setup with a microphone before the talk, maintaining the laser pointers, and asking the speaker at tea if there's anything they need. (Note: the laser pointer requires 1.5V alkaline batteries, NOT rechargeable batteries (they don't have enough voltage).  You can use the alkaline batteries in the bag). The projectionists should also bring an extra projector (and assorted equipment, if available) to colloquium. Finally, it is the responsibility of outgoing projectionists to train the incoming projectionists. This requires weekly work (just before colloquium) and is usually held by two first year students per semester. The department projectionist makes sure that the weekly colloquium speakers can project their talks.  This involves getting and setting up the projector (if there isn't one already in the room where the talk is to be held), ensuring the speaker is setup with a microphone before the talk, maintaining the laser pointers, and asking the speaker at tea if there's anything they need.

 ====Cosmic Gardener==== ====Cosmic Gardener====
 The cosmic gardener is in charge of the rooftop garden.  The primary responsibility is watering the plants every few days.  Watering only takes ten minutes, but since it happens multiple times a week, the job is actually quite time-consuming.  Longer-term responsibilities include occasional feeding and pruning of plants, and maybe someday harvesting a lemon.  For information on garden history and care of individual plants, visit the "[[the cosmic garden]]" page.  The gardener should have easy access to the roof; knowledge about what makes plants happy is a plus. The cosmic gardener is in charge of the rooftop garden.  The primary responsibility is watering the plants every few days.  Watering only takes ten minutes, but since it happens multiple times a week, the job is actually quite time-consuming.  Longer-term responsibilities include occasional feeding and pruning of plants, and maybe someday harvesting a lemon.  For information on garden history and care of individual plants, visit the "[[the cosmic garden]]" page.  The gardener should have easy access to the roof; knowledge about what makes plants happy is a plus.

-[Melanie will add a description.]+This involves meeting with the Climate Committee usually at least once a semester to stay up to date on how the department is in terms of accessibility, issues that may need addressing, and any new initiatives to coordinate or sponsor. The faculty liaison usually initializes the meeting times, but it is important for representatives from all department levels (UG, G, PD, faculty, and staff) to be involved and present.
