Administration/Management
In May 1990, Wright Laboratory, Materials Directorate awarded
Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) a
three plus year Contract. The Contract was for SOCHE to
provide 89,960 person hours of short-term intermittent
technical support to personnel at the Materials Directorate
(MD) and Avionics Laboratory (AA). The award made possible
the continuation of activities SOCHE has delivered to the MD
since 1986. People and processes were already in place
allowing us to dovetail activities and transition to this new
Contract activity.
The Student Support Program office located in Kettering, has
all the necessary equipment and support to fulfill the
Contract requirements. Since the first Contract award in
1986, SOCHE has had the same Director for the Student Support
Program. This half-time Director and a full-time
Administrative Assistant has delivered 7,401 hours of the
7,849 person hours approved for three administrative/
management tasks. The unused hours are due to two
simultaneous contracts operating since July 1992. SOCHE
allocated administrative hours and effort to each Contract
according to amounts needed to support student task activity.
Systems to monitor and control the budget and individual
tasks were developed during a previous Contract. Adjustments
were made as needed. This allowed us to readily have all the
information necessary to prepare required reports: monthly
Performance and Cost Reports, monthly Management Reports,
technical reports for individual tasks and quarterly Contract
Funds Status and vouchers for billings.
In the first month of Contract activity, SOCHE received and
filled 16 student tasks. The number of tasks steadily
increased during the next year. Because of the accelerated
demand for student workers, MD i.odified the Contract in 1991
to increase the dollars and student person hours by 25%. The
number of active tasks since then has been approximately 45.
Student Support hired 89 students to provide support in 108
tasks for 19 technical areas of MD and AA. Student Support
Program delivered approximately 94% of the 98,286 approved
student person hours.
Approach to Establishing and Maintaining Positive
Relationships
Maintaining rapport with the Materials Directorate personnel
continued as a priority. This was done in a variety of ways.
Before the recruitment process began, the Director consulted
the Government Task Leaders to find out the academic and
technical background needed to do the task. We sought their
opinion in critiquing the technical qualifications of student
applicants. The Task Leaders received information throughout
