The training will be held in the MITOC office (W20-461), Wednesday September 4th, 6:00-7:15pm. There is another training scheduled for September 9, but if demand is low one may be cancelled.

Please bring a laptop or tablet which we will use for practice.

Why become a desk worker?

• To get more involved in MITOC, and help MITOCers get outside!
• To help make trips, and big events like Acadia, Circus, and Winterschool possible!
• To be able to check out and return gear on your own, avoiding the queue at the desk. (Super useful for busy weekends and big trips!)
• If you are a current student you can get office access and check out/return gear whenever you want.
• To get desk credit that you can spend on rentals, trip fees, gear, classes, memberships, purchasables, cabin stays, and MITOC shwag.

Who should become a deskworker?

• Students!
• Leaders!
• Everyone!
• YOU!!

We will be covering rental policy and procedures, gear location in the office, difficult questions during office hours, and anything/everything else pertaining to desk shifts.

Please note you must have attended at least one MITOC trip to be eligible for desk worker training.
