If you've used CopyCat in the last seven years, chances are you've met him.
Chandler White, 26, has been helping Auburn students and faculty at various CopyCat locations since 2005, but he's about to start a new chapter of his life that will take him away from his home of the past 15 years.
"I'm about to go back to school in the fall," White said. "I'm either going to be in Tennessee at the University of Tennessee or at Southern Miss in Hattiesburg. I'll be studying geography."
White has been at CopyCat since 2005 thanks to a recommendation from a friend.
"One of my good buddies got me this job when I was about to finish high school," White said. "His dad is the vice president for auxiliary services, so I got the hookup in a big way."
CopyCat has had several locations across Auburn's campus, and White said he's worked at nearly all of them.
"I've worked at virtually all the locations that have existed," he said. "We used to be over in Foy--couple locations I worked there. I've worked in the library. I've pretty much done it all."
White is originally from Chicago, but he attended high school in Auburn.
"I've been in Auburn since 1998," he said. "My family moved here from Chicago-land area. I went to Auburn University from 2005-09 and graduated that December with a B.A. in geography. I've been working at CopyCat off-and-on for the past six years or so. Now I've been working full-time at the do-it-yourself office in the Student Center for two years."
The do-it-yourself office has a different purpose than CopyCat's other locations.
"The office I work in, the do-it-yourself office, we're pretty much geared toward students--making sure they can get prints and copies ASAP--whereas the main office is more geared toward departmental jobs and doing high-volume stuff or specialty things," he said.
White said after he finishes school, he plans on either getting a job or continuing his education in geography for his doctorate.
"I've been in Auburn for 14 or 15 years now," he said. "While I love it, I'm ready to move on I think."
