Work Study Student Assistants Needed in Student Life

If all of this sounds ideal, apply for the Office of Student Life Assistant position. If you are work study eligible, please stop by to see Jeffrey Hoffman, Director of Student Life, or the Financial Aid Office to find out if your skills and interests match the job. You can also call
