Students work at DPS,
gain useful experience
Many students who work
at DPS have nonrelated majors,
but appreciate steady hours
and a consistent paycheck

Minimum wage, newly found re
spect for authority figures and daily
campus complaints — what more
could a student employee want?
For the students who work at the
front desk of the Department of
Public Safety, the job may not cater
well to individual career goals or im
patient tendencies, but it pays the
bills and allows the employees to
become familiar with the people be
hind the badges and uniforms.
“It’s given me more respect for
police officers,” sophomore Kelly
Langlois said. “They’re really not
any different from anyone else.”
Six months ago, Langlois was .
buying a parking permit when she
heard DPS needed help. After ex
panding her duties from filing and
phone reception to handling
records, Langlois said her biggest
job responsibility is dealing with
confidential information.
“It’s not so much that I view the
info, but that I make sure it is handled
properly,” the French major said.
With more than a decade’s
worth of French language under
her belt, Langlois plans to take a
shot at international business
some day and will be studying
abroad next year. After she returns
to the University to complete her
senior year, Langlois said she will

Student workers Kelly Langlois and Cat Williams (background) help as assistants in
the DPS office who take care of customer service and regular office work.
most likely go back to her 16
hour-a-week job at DPS for the ex
perience, the dependable hours
and the consistent paycheck.
As one of the currently employed
students with the most experience
working at DPS, senior Bereket Hai
ly landed a work-study position at
the department about four years
ago. He said his opinion of DPS offi
cers has remained positive as well.
“They’re just normal human be
ings doing their jobs like everybody
else,” he said.
Looking forward to his fifth year
at the University, Haily said he
plans to work next year as well be
cause it’s a guaranteed job. With
varying weekly hours, occasional
pay raises and experience working
with computer data entry, Haily
said the job is convenient and
worthwhile but has nothing to do
with his career goals.
“My ultimate goal is to have my
own business,” the business and
economics double major said. “This
is just a job for school.”
Junior Gat Williams obtained a
work study position at DPS her
freshman year and currently juggles
her 15 weekly hours at the depart

ment with a second job doing desk
work at a local insurance company.
Intending to work for DPS again
next year, Williams said the biggest
responsibility of her job is consis
tency, especially considering the
position itself hasn’t changed much.
As a sociology major, Williams is
studying to work in law enforce
ment, specifically with violent
crimes, and said her office duties at
DPS are “a separate thing” from
where she is going after graduation.
“This job hasn’t really done any
thing to encourage my goals to be
in law enforcement,” she said.
“But it has taught me a lot about
dealing with the people who come
to this counter.”
In dealing with people’s daily
complaints and reports, Williams
said patience and understanding are
the best tools for handling annoyed
or frantic DPS patrons.
“We’re not the ones that sign the
cards or make the rules, but all of
the complaints come back on us be
cause we’re the ones they see first,”
she said.
