How to Find On-Campus Jobs

Are you a student looking for a part-time job on campus?  If so, then you are in the right place! There are a couple of ways to find on campus jobs including the Hire-A-Vol system which is always our go-to for job and interview searches.  As great as Hire-A-Vol is, not all campus jobs are listed on there.  Because of this, we also recommend looking for jobs the old fashioned way--walk in, introduce yourself, and ask if they're hiring! 

Below are some great places on campus to begin your job hunt:
