Benefits of Student Employment

1. Reduce Debt. Cash you earn while working on-campus is money you don't have to borrow now and pay back later.

2. Achieve Better Grades. Working 12-15 hours a week on-campus while in college has shown to improve academic achievement.

3. Build Your Professional Network. Develop a list of professional contacts for after graduation. Additionally, your work experience looks great on your resume!
