Job Description Summary
The Event Observer (EO) team is comprised of part-time, temporary staff within University Life. Event Observers play an important role in efforts to manage risk, reduce harm, and foster a sense of belonging among all members of our community. This is primarily done through on-the-ground support of student social events, which includes communicating with event hosts, helping to ensure guests' safety, troubleshooting any issues, and documenting observations or concerns. EOs address and shut down social events that are escalating in risk and/or events that were not registered with University Life. EOs work closely with Penn Police while on shift and may collaborate with other offices, such as the Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life and the Center for Community Standards & Accountability, to provide more details following an event.
EO shifts are typically from 9:30 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. and may be scheduled on Thursday, Friday, and/or Saturday nights as well as other times when events are planned (e.g., during the day on Saturday). Shifts begin during the week of New Student Orientation and end around Commencement. EOs work in pairs and are required to complete training before attending their first shift.
This is a temporary nine-month term position.
