Student Employment

Student workers are important members of the St. Kate's Community! We view campus employment as an integral part of your education and professional development.

Research shows that students employed on campus do better in school and are more likely to graduate than those students who do not work on campus. We believe this success is due to student employees learning good time-management skills and building relationships with members of the campus community outside of the classroom. Although we cannot guarantee every student a job, we have established procedures to assist you in the job-finding process.

	Office/Clerical Assistants
