Academic Administrative Assistants (AAA’s) provide support to assigned departments and programs; the nature of their work varies according to the needs of those departments and programs.

Academic Administrative Assistants are located across campus in Bonney Science Center, Carnegie Science Hall, Hathorn Hall, Hedge Hall, Olin Arts Center, Pettengill Hall, Pettigrew Hall, and Roger Williams Hall.

AAA’s are responsible for interaction with faculty, staff, students and visitors for the purpose of gathering and distributing information, answering inquiries and establishing a welcoming and effective environment. They assist faculty with materials pertaining to their course work. They also support departments, programs, and committees. They assist in organizing and publicizing special events sponsored by departments and programs. They work closely with both faculty and students to provide a conduit of information for a successful academic setting.
