Jamie Tait-Glossop is the Education Commander of spacesim, and joined in 2017-18. Her love of organization and inventory earned her the role of Quartermaster in 2018-19. In June 2019, she was chosen to serve as Education Commander for the 2019-20 mission year, during which term she instated a club electoral reform, and was subsequently re-elected for 2020-21.

She is also the head of The Dig taskforce.

2017-18

• Tait joined OCESS in September 2017, after being introduced to the club by Kaeden Seburn that summer. She attended worksessions infrequently in the fall, before becoming more invested in the club as the mission approached. She was chosen to be a simulator, though she was not trained in Simulator Engineering by the mission.
• It was during Silver Seas that she established her reputation for taking night shifts, aided by her energy, adaptability, and rather reckless nature. She was reprimanded post-mission by the Hierarchy for her irresponsible behaviour as she had not slept once during the mission, staying awake for around 120 straight hours. Her inexperience and recklessness was once again demonstrated as she achieved infamy through the Toaster Fire Disaster, a poorly planned disaster during which the Astronaut crew lost a roll of paper towel, which unbeknownst to Tait and her shift partner, was the only roll that the crew had packed.
• Post-mission, Simulator Commander Serena Harden tasked her with writing the Simulator Report over March Break. Unable to contact the other Simulators, she wrote only about her own experiences, and in the absence of a more complete report, her work was submitted as the official report for 2018.

2018-19

• Now being better established in the club, Tait began taking a more active role. She became well-versed in Planetariums, and was certified to teach them by Magwood. Her love for organization and inventory earned her the position of Quartermaster. Captain and interim Simulator Commander Harden granted her a more influential role in mission planning, allowing her to learn more about the ins and outs of the Mission.
• As often happens, the tenth grade Outdoor Education winter trip coincided with the mission, and not wanting her already low grade to drop further, Tait opted to simply miss the requisite 28 hours of the mission in order to attend. In an attempt to make up for this, she took as many shifts as possible whilst still in Ottawa, including every night shift for which she was present. Strangely, she was not reprimanded for this decision this time. Tait's most notable contribution to the 2019 mission was the design and construction of the Alpha Engine Module, which had previously only been a theoretical location in OCESS Beta.
• Post-mission, Tait was asked to apply for Education Commander, due to the lack of hierarchy applicants that year. As one of the only applicants, Tait was unsurprisingly chosen, and Toby Armstrong was chosen to serve as Subcommander, despite both his seniority and his not having applied for Commander whatsoever. Captain Harden attempted to teach her the ropes of her former role, but due to Tait's absence at summer camp for the majority of the summer, she was unable to get much training in before Harden moved away.

2019-20

• Acted as a Simulator
• Took no night shifts, 35 hours of shiftwork and 19 consecutive awake hours.
• Rewrote the mission schedule last-minute in order to accommodate mission limitations.
• Drafted the Hindsight 2020 Simulator Report.
• Established the Election system of hierarchy, as well as the Pseudoparliamentary Reform for OCESS Hierarchy
