Employment

2)       To provide the student with a valuable work experience

3)       To provide support to on campus employers

Student employment jobs are considered to be an important piece of the student’s professional development.  In addition to learning valuable life skills and beginning to build their resumes, students are given the opportunity to connect with Cameron University on a professional level.  Student employees are very valuable to each and every departments operation.

The intent of the Student Employment Office at Cameron University is to enhance student learning and assist with departmental student employment needs by providing meaningful work experiences.
