START

Student Technicians and Resource Tutors (START Techs)

• provide technology support for fellow students and also for service units throughout the University (i.e. ITS Helpdesk, ADC Sandbox, etc.).
• work with their fellow students to model how to troubleshoot and solve problems in technology environments, helping each other to develop confidence in technical self-help, an important competency for both learning and work success.

Supporting digital productivity for academic success:

START Lab provides “how-to” support for

• document and productivity tools (MSOffice)
• MRU-supported email (GoogleMail)
• academic technology applications (Blackboard, myMRU)

Drop in to get free one-on-one help for these technologies in START Lab (T106) and at the Library Information Desk during posted hours
