SE+ Supervisor Spotlight

Marcia Frobish Headshot

Marcia Frobish

Marcia not only embraced the SE+ Initiative early on, she has also been a rock-star throughout the transition process. She has eight SE+ positions approved in Handshake and three more in progress!

"I’ve been at Grand Valley for 14 years, and I’m an affiliate faculty in the math department and the director of the math and stats tutoring centers. My students help other students in math and stats courses with math, homework ,  and general technology questions. This summer I'm having them work on some projects for me, including different ways to advertise their services and videos for students about some of new technology platforms because online math is hard -- there's not an easy way to write out problems/equations. We’ve been using Discord and Go-Board, which is similar to Blackboard Collaborate.

It’s been nice for the tutors to be able to reflect on their job s  and see what they want to get out of  the work. The  learning objectives were probably the hardest part but also the most beneficial, and the reflection piece has been great for them. Also, I’ve always tried to have one-on-one meetings, but this keeps me accountable to offer feedback. SE+ makes a student job more experiential and  [the student]  conscientious about what they’re doing."
