Why work on campus?
Working while attending college is a great way to get involved and make new friends. Students who work on campus make valuable connections with other ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s, staff, and faculty within the St. Kate’s community. Flexible scheduling works around your courses, athletic events, or other campus activities, and getting to and from work couldn’t be more convenient.
In addition to all of that, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s who work on campus are exempt from FICA tax, so you also earn 7.65 percent more each pay period than if you work off campus. Research also shows that ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s who work on campus do better academically and have higher graduation rates.
What jobs are available?
Jobs are available in a variety of areas, including admission ambassadors, office assistants, meeting and event staff, library assistants, tutors, lifeguards, and ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ services staff.
How do I find a job?
All ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s are encouraged to apply for ´ºÓêÖ±²¥ employment. However, applicants who have been awarded work-study funding as part of their financial aid package receive priority consideration. Those with work-study built into their financial aid packages must still apply for and obtain employment to earn the funds allotted.
The First-Year Job Placement Program offers ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s the opportunity to be placed in a position after completing the application included in the financial aid award packet. Once on campus, ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s can search for jobs via Katie Career/Handshake. A Handshake account will automatically be created for all ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s. New ´ºÓêÖ±²¥s can log into Handshake using St. Kate’s single sign-on once they have started classes. Please do not manually create your account.
