NMHU Student Jobs
A part-time job on-campus offers a great way for you to earn money to help pay for school as well as to get a jump start on your career track. Student employment allows you to acquire work experience, transferable job skills, self-confidence, and develop a network of professional contacts for your future career. On-campus jobs include departmental, federal/state work-study, and graduate assistantships (GA) in non-academic departments. Keep in mind that each department makes their own hiring decisions, therefore students are not placed in a job or guaranteed a job.
