Being a Student Employee
College students are arguably the best multitaskers. We are required to juggle everything from a course load and extracurriculars to part-time or even full-time jobs.
What has my experience been like as a student employee?
I have two on-campus jobs, both non-work study. I also hold an e-board position within Program Council. My paid jobs include being a Tour Guide for the Welcome Center and holding a position as an Editor for the newspaper. My daily routine goes tour, class, PC, the newspaper, and sleep, on a constant rotation. It does get overwhelming, at times, but at the end of the day, I like the stability of a consistent schedule. Not only does it look good on my LinkedIn, but I have made so many close friends through these organizations. There are so many opportunities for on-campus employment over the weekend too. This includes working open houses for incoming students as a tour guide.
If you’re like myself and simply looking to give back to the BSU community while getting paid, on-campus student employment might be for you.
Through our Student Employment office, located on the first floor of our postcard building, Boyden Hall, you can find non-work study and work study jobs on campus. Non-work study means that bi-weekly, you receive an amount directly deposited into your bank account. Being a part of work-study means that you receive a stipend directly applied to your financial aid. You could get a job in anything from setting up with University Events to a Tinsley Center desk job. You can also access our student employment database featuring a long list of jobs with simple online applications.
This article serves as a commemoration to all on-campus workers. I am simply impressed by your commitment to both maintaining your course load, a social life, and timeliness to employment.
