Student Employment Incentive Program

In Fall 2010, the University created a new funding source to support additional campus jobs administered by the Career Center. This  initiative recognized the need to support students in gaining work experience on-campus that complements their liberal arts education, as well as to support departments’ implementation of their missions with qualified workers.
