On-Campus Student Employment provides students an opportunity to develop personal and work-related skills in a controlled environment. The program fosters a spirit of campus community through interactions between students, supervisors, and co-workers. These experiences provide students with an additional sense of encouragement to persist in the completion of their academic curriculum.
