Student Employment
Join Our Team!
Student employees are an integral part of our operations. With flexible hours it is easy for students to arrange work schedules around classes and extracurricular activities.
Working with CP&S puts our student employees at the center of campus life, offering constant interaction with students, faculty & staff, and the general public. It’s a fun and exciting work environment! New student employees are given a primary job assignment but are also expected to function as energetic, committed team members, working together to provide excellent services and activities for the WFU community.
Our primary hiring takes place annually in March and April. If you’d like to be placed on our waitlist, please email myersl@wfu.edu with the subject line “Student Employment”.
