"When I am talking to new hires, I have to be clear, send reminders, and know how to communicate with someone that does not know what I know. I might think something is easy to do, but that’s because I have that information, so I have to know how to talk to someone that does not." - Fath’Ma Shabani '24, Student Coordinator for Staff Development, previously, Fitness Monitor, Cornell Fitness Centers

"As a supervisor, I work on Saturdays when most pro-staff are not in, but students are. And even though, I’m not there for the whole day, I have to plan for the whole day, not just that part I’m there for, making sure everyone gets their lunch, making sure we’re well-staffed for the hotspot times, making sure we’re covered from opening to closing." - Andrés Castellanos '25, Student Supervisor, The Cornell Store
