Student Assistants
Each year, the Office for Residential Life and Housing Services hires student assistants to work in the area offices to assist with various tasks.
To see if there are open positions check Job Link or go to any area office to inquire about openings at the beginning of the year.
What do Student Assistants do?
Academic Year Student Assistants
Student assistants in the area offices during the year may assist with working the desk, answering phones, helping students, assisting with room checks, helping students with room changes, filing, and generally helping the area secretary and area coordinator with office work. Student assistants during the year are paid hourly for their work.
