    • If assigned to the IEM sub-team: attend a one-time IEM training session and handle IEM-specific setup, teardown, and transport
    • Serve as a general runner/extra set of hands for the production team as tasks arise
    • Flex across specific shifts between October 2-30, 2026 based on the day's schedule and own class schedule
