Office of Student Activities
The Office of Student Activities offers a variety of fun, entertaining and interactive events throughout the academic year.
Student Employment
We understand the importance of a well-rounded education. In addition to the classroom, opportunities for growth and development are available throughout the University. One such opportunity is through student employment.
The Office of Student Activities hires students to fill numerous work study positions during the academic year including building managers and office assistants. Most positions are filled during the first two weeks of the fall and spring semesters; however, openings do occur periodically throughout the academic year.
We encourage student employees to have fun and enjoy their experience working in the student center. That said, it is important that employees take their responsibilities seriously, conduct themselves in a professional manner and respond to student needs as they arise.
