Technology Assistants

All WSA recognized student groups can obtain free assistance in using technology from the WSA-funded WESUNITY technology assistants.

Who are they?

The technology assistants are students with specialized technological skills who are willing to share their knowledge with student groups.

What can they help my group with?

So far, we have found helpers who are proficient in creating webpages, doing graphic design in PhotoShop, and able to help groups set up listserves and email accounts.   We are currently looking for students to help set up webservers so that student groups can have more complex and dynamic webpages than ITS will permit.  We are also looking for students with experience in layout and publishing.  The Hermes has expressed interest in helping other student organizations produce publications.  Want to get paid to help student groups use technology?  Email wesunity@wesleyan.edu.

How to get help

Simple, email wesunity@wesleyan.edu with your group name and what you would like help with.  We want to train activists in using technology rather than doing projects for activists.  Now's your chance to gain valuable skills at no cost to you.  Later in the semester we will post our drop-in hours, where you can find a consultant without having to make an appointment.  

How to help us

We would like to upgrade and purchase new computers for the WSA office so as not to have to rely on computer labs (which are often full).  We will need donated computers and computer parts from students, and may need student groups to help us raise money and write grants.  In exchange for assistance, student groups will receive guaranteed computer time with assistants beyond what is normally available.  We also need your interest in the project to justify the expense to our student government, so get trained today!   Email wesunity@wesleyan.edu and help your group use technology to strengthen your campaigns.
