On-campus student employment is a great way for students to earn income through federal work study and other means, connect work with academics, and engage with peers, faculty and staff members across the University!
Departments as varied as Athletics, Learning Commons, Mail Services, WMPG, Free Press, Music, Theatre, Information Technology, Cybersecurity, and many others across the University offer on-campus work opportunities to students. Work-study opportunities pay between $17.00 and $18.00/hour.
Students who have not received an offer of federal work-study in their financial aid package can contact their Financial Aid Counselor.
