On-Campus Student Employment

In any given school year, more than 3,000 students are employed in various departments and offices all around campus. They help design department web sites, lifeguard at the Ray Meyer Center and advise their peers in the Career Center. They are communications assistants, technical writers, clerks, web programmers, and researchers. Many of them are working to help finance their DePaul education. The benefits of on-campus employment, however, extend beyond a paycheck.
