Transfer Student Center Leadership Opportunities

Our student staff play a vital role in coordinating key projects and programming while fostering a welcoming, collaborative community on campus. By serving as role models and liaisons within their teams, student staff develop essential transferable skills in leadership and program planning while gaining direct access to professional staff. We offer both paid and unit-bearing internship positions. Work study is preferred for paid roles. Paid positions average 10-12 hours/week, interns average 3-4 hours/week.
