Student Employment

The Student Employment Office, an integral part of Career Services, creates a one stop shop for campus supervisors and students to meet their employment needs.

Supervisors may post student employment vacancies via a simple job form on our website. Students may search on-line for campus employment and apply directly to the job opening. Our goal is to provide meaningful employment for students, correlating to their educational goals and connecting them to campus.

Not only does Student Employment coordinate Federal Work-Study, Non-Federal Work-Study positions, but also temporary, projects, and Graduate Aide positions.

Please feel free to contact Student Employment for further assistance with on-campus employment issues, (219) 989-2600.

Congratulations to the following students and supervisors nominated for Student Employee/ Student Employee Supervisor of the Year!
