Taking Learning to the Next Level
More than 1,600 students are employed each year by the departments and units within Student Life. From office and desk assistants to resident assistants, intramural referees, fitness instructors, and event planners, Nebraska students benefit from connecting on-the-job experiences to coursework and career aspirations. If you are a student interested in working for a department, contact the department directly for application information and deadlines or search on-campus jobs in Handshake.
Husker GROW takes learning to the next level through reflective conversations with student employees and highly engaged student leaders like student organization officers and peer mentors. Brief structured conversations between students and their supervisor or coach help connect on-the-job and leadership experiences to coursework and career ambitions.
