This summer, there are approximately 125 student employees working on campus, helping to keep the campus looking great and offices running smoothly. Two such students are Nicole Lahey, nuclear medicine major, and Ben Porter, education major, who are working for physical plant this summer.

Fall Student Employment
Fall student employment openings will begin to post Aug. 1. Students may submit an online application and begin to apply online for fall positions on Aug. 1.

Students will need to follow up with completing paperwork once they arrive on campus. Freshmen will have the opportunity to complete paperwork in the AMU during orientation weekend, and all students will have the opportunity during the first two days of classes, Aug. 25 and 26, also in the AMU.
