Hello
Dormnet is Harding's help desk for students. It is staffed by a group of wonderful student workers known as Dormnet Assistants (DNAs)
It is a service provided by Harding’s Student Support & Communication, managed by Lora Fleener that brings the Internet and the campus network directly to a student’s personal computer.
Some facts about Dormnet:

In addition to the help desk operations, the DNAs have been compiling a blog focused on being a source of information for students who are seeking help with using IT in the dorms.
Recently one of the DNAs compiled an entry in the blog that reflected on his three years working in Dormnet. It is a thoughtful reflection. You can read the complete entry by following this link: http://dormnet.blogspot.com/2015/05/looking-back.html
In particular, I was encouraged by the last section of his blog post. Even if you do not have time to read the complete blog entry, I wanted to share with you this section from his post.
We have some great students at Harding, who are learning so many things that we may not be aware of on a day to day basis. This is a great reminder of this, and also a great encouragement for each of us to do the same.

- God can be glorified in every situation. When I applied for DormNet, I wasn't initially thinking that it would be a great way to serve God. I was just looking for a job, and this one was highly recommended to me by my friends. However, in working here these last three years I have seen that we can be giving glory to God in every situation. Every time students come to us seeking help with their computer issues, we have an opportunity to be servants of Him and show everyone His love. Computers can be frustrating to deal with, but to be able to be friendly and loving in the face of the frustrations they can bring I think can be a great Christian thing to do. We interact with students from all different walks of life, and the way we act and serve gives us an opportunity to reflect Christ in our interactions and give glory to Him. He can use us to improve other students' lives through this service that we have learned how to do. Through this job, I have learned that it really doesn't matter what service or job we're doing, anything and everything we do can be used to glorify Him. I hope that whatever you are doing and wherever you are in life, you can remember this and use your skills for Him.
