Dean's Update: June 2024

Jun 12 2024 - 9:15am

For so many of our students, college would not be possible without a part-time job. We typically employ about 60 part-time student workers every year in the CoJMC. Positions include our ambassadors who conduct workshops and recruit in local high schools, peer mentors who support our new freshmen when they get to campus, our music and sports directors at 90.3 KRNU and equipment check-out room and design lab assistants. The average student worker makes just over $2,500 during the academic year. But, with 60+ students, those figures add up fast. So, we asked some of our students, “Why is it important for you to have a part-time job in Andersen Hall?” Please take a moment to read their responses and consider giving to support the work they do. I expect their stories will resonate with many of you who were once in their shoes.
