 Nightstar “Some of the students are concerned about having to clock in and out through a central location,” Heather L. Cox, graduate assistant for night stars, said. “It’s a new system we’re trying to work through and figure out.”
As of this year, night stars clock-in and check-out their keys at either Coltrane or East Residence Halls at Appalachian State University, depending on whether the building they are working in is on the west or east side of campus.
“I can hold the night stars more accountable for being on time and being responsible for their keys now that they have to physically be there,” Stacy R. Sears, associate director for administration for university housing, said.
Approximately 25 night stars clock in and out at Coltrane Residence Hall before and after they report to west side residence halls, including the Living and Learning Center (LLC) and Appalachian Heights apartments.
“It’s been inconvenient and scary for night stars at the LLC having to walk from there to Coltrane and then back at 4 a.m.,” Alexandria B. Nystrom, a night star and junior anthropology major said.
Approximately 23 night stars clock in and out in East Residence Hall before and after reporting to east side residence halls, including the Appalachian Panhellenic Hall (APH) located next to BB&T bank on U.S. Route 321.
“Since I don’t live on campus, I may not know what is going to work best,” Sears said. “Our hope is that the students will be able to offer suggestions to provide ideas that we may not have thought of.”
