The Division of Student Affairs helps to transform students’ lives by supporting and inspiring the highest standards of student learning and success, community engagement and staff development. The Division is comprised of 26 reporting units in four departments: Wellness, Recreation and Athletics, Campus Engagement, Office of the Registrar and Enrolment Management, and Student Development and Success. The comprehensive and integrated range of services we provide make Student Affairs one of the most dynamic and diverse divisions on campus. Together, we support UVic’s vision “to be a university of choice for outstanding students, faculty, and staff from BC, Canada, and around the world.”
The Bookstore is the University's one-stop shop for books, supplies and stationery, clothing and giftware. In addition, Finnerty's provides coffee; local, fresh-baked goods, and a variety of snacks. The Bookstore offers services to faculty, students, staff, members of the local community, and is part of a greater community of campus service providers.
The Information Desk Clerk is often the first point of contact within the store and the main source of information regarding services offered, merchandise available and store policies. Under the supervision of the Head Cashier, provides day-to-day direction and guidance in the work of the Cashiers, and supports the provision of customer services at the Bookstore through a variety of customer service, clerical and technical duties.
This work requires sufficient strength and stamina to stand for periods of time and to do some manual work with merchandise such as moving boxes, unpacking and tagging goods.
