Student Employment

The Student Employment Office supervises some 1200 students working on regular part-time jobs, and supplies many more with short-term "casual" jobs. Although these casual jobs are usually the more interesting and unusual ones, it is the regular kind which are the more important and which account for the close connection between the Student Employment Office and the College's Financial Aid program.

Any student may apply for work through the Office, located in Weld Hall. The regular part-time jobs in the University, however, are assigned through a priority list, based on financial need, although even on the priority list such other considerations as physical condition, special talents, previous experience, and class schedule do play a small part. The student without any real financial need, but with a temporarily empty wallet, is the one most likely to hit upon the unusual jobs.
