Spotlight
Name: Macauley Peterson.
Position: Technical support specialist in the
Office of Information Technology. Assisting in managing the
Help Desk during the day, providing direct customer support,
monitoring the campus computing environment and helping
supervise about 30 student consultants. The Help Desk
recently expanded its hours from providing telephone support
five days a week until 11 p.m. to five days a week, 24 hours
a day. The desk normally gets between 100 and 200 calls a
day, although calls jumped to 700 one day this spring when
the new authenticated e-mail was implemented. Additional
support is available in person by appointment.
Quote: "I like the environment and the people I
work with. It's always interesting-- even if we get some of
the same questions, we get to talk to different people."
Other interests: A 2001 Princeton graduate in
philosophy, Peterson began working at the Help Desk as a
sophomore. He's thinking about graduate school in film
directing, and plans to shoot a supernatural thriller next
fall. He also plays and teaches chess.
