Student Employment and Recognition
Campus Recreation is the largest student employer on campus with over 250 student employees. We provide students with transferable skills that will help them get, and keep, the next job.
Hiring
At various times throughout the year, typically at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters as well as just before the summer terms, the Department of Campus Recreation will host job fairs for students interested in employment. The department will also offer a workshop in conjunction with the job fairs to aid students in drafting their cover letters and résumés.
Once applications have been submitted, student employee candidates may be selected to participate in first round interviews and then second round program area interviews.
Students who are hired will go through an in-service training and orientation program. Schedules are established based on availability. Student wages are based on the position and experience.
