Student Employment

Student employment includes work-study, temporary, part-time, and summer positions. Job announcements are posted on the bulletin board outside Career Services, Room 269, West Building.  Additional job announcements may be found in the Career Services resources area.

Work-Study Positions -- Campus jobs for which departments want to hire students who have work study as part of their financial aid.  Students who receive work-study as part of their financial aid award must work in a job to earn money equal to their work-study award.  The work-study program subsidizes the student's salary so that the cost to departments is less.  Some departments require students with work-study.  Some departments hire with or without it.  Students may wish to explore a variety of work-study options. See the staff in the Career Center, Room West 269. Click here for more information.

On-Campus Jobs -- Campus departments require a job application which can be found in Career Services, Room 269 West or Student Resources, Room 263 West Bldg.  For additional information regarding Student Employment on campus call Johan Curtiss, Career Services Manager at 372-7191 or e-mail Johan Curtiss at: jcurtiss@tricity.wsu.edu
