While there may be 鈥渜uiet time鈥� in each of our positions, we wouldn鈥檛 call any of our positions just a desk job. You will have to get out of your desk chair to go complete event setups and check in with clients while maintaining a positive attitude and a high level of customer service. Homework is permitted, but since you never know when you鈥檒l have to hop up and help, we do not recommend regularly banking on getting homework done during your shift.

Entry-level positions begin at $10/hr with $0.50 raises at the start of each academic year for returning employees.

We pride ourselves on being able to work around your class schedules and co-curriculars, but we do need to meet some minimum expectations of coverage. Upfront, you鈥檒l be asked how many hours per week you want to commit to working, and you鈥檒l be held to that pretty closely throughout the semester. Our schedules are finalized 1 陆 weeks in advance. Some teams will post a 鈥榮et鈥� schedule with the same shifts week to week, whereas other teams will post shifts for pickup at different times each week depending on the events coming up. Generally speaking, shifts at Sarratt, Commons, and the Rand 307 Office are more 鈥榮et鈥� and shifts on the SLC/Alumni and Production Services team are more event-dependent.

Yes! We ask that you make time off requests 2 weeks in advance. Luckily, your biggest conflicts are probably academic and you get your syllabi early in the semester鈥� that鈥檚 plenty of time to ask off for anything class-related. We understand that sometimes things come up, and we are pretty reasonable and can accommodate as needed. There are certain busy days, weeks, or weekends (Reunion, Rites of Spring, etc.) when time off may be a little dicey. Luckily, we have lots of student staff and pro staff, and there is almost always someone who can cover if you need help.

There are several opportunities to work on campus that may be a great fit for you, but here at Student Centers, we really specialize in transferable skills and making sure you can get great work experience to take with you and translate to your next internship or job search. In addition to transferable skills, we also care about our students and their health, safety, and wellness while on campus. Students are supported through one-on-one meetings with supervisors and are given numerous opportunities to build relationships with peers through collaborative teamwork, a vibrant community of students from around the world, and a variety of professional development opportunities.

We believe you get out of a job what you put into a job, so we give you lots of opportunities to contribute. In addition to your weekly shifts at your buildings, we invite any interested students to apply for other positions on our team that will help them develop as professionals and as people. We have entirely student-run committees (like the Student Engagement Board and Student-Led Hiring Committee), and managers who run the production and event teams. We also have specialized opportunities for students interested in being event managers, as well as personalized internship experiences designed to fit the student鈥檚 interests and goals. Truly, the possibilities are endless. If you have a great idea for a way to contribute to our team and are willing to put in the work to lead an initiative, there is not much we wouldn鈥檛 be open to!

Staff members work in a variety of locations depending on their assigned team and area of responsibility. Most teams support operations across multiple buildings and event spaces on campus. For example, one Event Associates team may support events and operations in the Commons, 1101 Faculty Commons, and Residential Colleges, while another team may work in Sarratt|Rand, the Student Life Center, Alumni Hall, and the Community Event Space. The Production Services and Facilities & Operations teams provide support for events across all managed spaces. The Intake Team is more centrally based in Rand 307, where they primarily support front desk operations.
