Student Employment Fund

Student engagement on campus matters!

Student Employment is a powerful tool for supporting student success and professional development. Research and data show that students who work on campus are more engaged and graduate at higher rates.

We are raising funds to increase the number and diversity of positions we can offer students on campus.

By supporting student employment, you are helping to enrich a student's education while also helping to fund their education.
