A nice response from KR of XXX, YY

Good to know you are considering to be part of the XXX gang! Yes you will be involved in other functions on top of facilitating classes. Given your articulate nature (both in the spoken and written word) I can see you really contributing to the network function where your primary responsibility will be to help XXX shape an identity both within and beyond YY. The details of the function will include areas like planning for our International ZZZ Symposium, conceptualizing our newsletter and hosting visitors/ giving presentations on WWW. There are also other functions like training, curriculum, research, student development and educational technology, and we welcome you to poke around these functions and see what tickles your interest. With your IT background perhaps you might want to see how the educational technology function could meet your needs in further developing your IT skills. These functions are not set in stone, and what is more critical is finding a good match between your interest and the department’s functional needs, so the first few weeks of your stay with us would be largely informal and exploratory as you get to meet all the function heads and chat with them
