Gidhub Guardians
GHG: Who What Why How and Why
To keep the lab running smoothly for everyone, GidHub needs have been divided into specific tasks outlined below. Each task is assigned to 2-3 students known as GidHub Guardians (GHGs) who act as the main overseers of the relevant equipment and spaces. It is not their job to clean up anyone else's mess! GHGs enforce guidelines by calling out misuse of Gidhub resources and educating other students on proper lab procedure, and their main role is to empower others to use GH resources through mentoring/training and through using the resources themselves to show examples of what GH can do!
All SyBBURE students are expected to be familiar with and adhere to lab procedures, or ask for guidance from GHGs or Team SyBBURE members before using any station they are unfamiliar with. If you make a mess or break something, it's okay! But make sure you clean it up and let someone know or ask for help!
Remember that if you allow yourself or other students to misuse resources, leave the space disorganized, or leave equipment unusable, you are limiting what you and other students can do and get out of GidHub.
