Most people don’t know why some students enjoy working in the University’s dining services, so I decided to do an audio story about the benefits of working in the dining hall. The increase in pay, free meals and new friendships were the reasons mentioned by a couple of students.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Initially I had thought working with only audio would be easy, but two challenges I faced were writing my script in a conversational voice and finding good soundbites. Most of the time, the two students I interviewed spoke slowly at certain points or paused a lot in their speech, which made it hard to find quick soundbites. Overall, I liked learning how to write a script and how to do an audio wrap. Although I know I can get better with more practice, I’d have to say I’m pleased with the result, and the process was better than expected.<\/p>\n

12-hundred student employees serve in the University\ufffds dining halls and catering\ufffd making it one of the most popular employment services for students. Working with food may not sound ideal, but it has its benefits.<\/p>\n

Senior Max McKittrick is a student supervisor and has been working in dining services for four years. He says he enjoys eating for free and earns a good amount of money\ufffdwhich fits any student\ufffds agenda of living on a budget. (0:23)<\/p>\n

\ufffdI continue to work here because it\ufffds pretty good money and I enjoy free meals.\ufffd (0:07)<\/p>\n

TRACK 2<\/b><\/p>\n

Thurman Etchison, student program coordinator for the University\ufffds dining services, says student employees receive a 25-cent raise each semester, with a maximum pay of $10.50. (0:11)<\/p>\n

\ufffdPlus certainly the people that stay with us from semester to semester are worth more money. They get more done in a shorter period of time. They\ufffdre just better at doing their jobs. (0:08)<\/p>\n

TRACK 3<\/b><\/p>\n

Senior Emil Isaakov is currently working his fourth semester. Money and free meals enticed him at first, but newfound friendships made working in dining services worthwhile. (0:10)<\/p>\n

\ufffdAfter a while you have friendships that you don\ufffdt want to end, so I guess that\ufffds what keeps me here really.\ufffd (0:10)<\/p>\n

McKittrick also enjoys the new friendships. (0:02)<\/p>\n

\n<\/b>\ufffdIt\ufffds nice to hang out with people after the shift is over\ufffdand chat.\ufffd (0:06)<\/p>\n

Whether it\ufffds free meals, a higher income or lasting friendships, one thing\ufffds for sure: working in the dining halls sure has its perks. For Off the Shelf and Online, I\ufffdm Sony Kassam. (0:09)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
