Being a Volunteer Coodinator is far more than just keeping track of the hours completed by prospective DJs. Being KZSC's Volunteer Coordinator meant I was the first face that any volunteer, musical guests, or patron saw upon entering the building, and I was the primary outreach coordinator to UCSC staff, administration, and deans. I trained, supervised, and counseled prospective staff members, logged their hours and assigned them daily tasks. This position also gave me a seat on KZSC's Executive Committee, which made financial, disciplinary, and logistical decisions regarding the Archive's antenna, staff, and future goals.
