Student Employee Leaders
The Chartered Student Organizations collectively employ and provide developmental opportunities for over 150 student employees annually. Student employees are a major part of the Campus Center Complex. They help implement programs and services for their fellow students and the campus community. Program implementation is an important responsibility because it attempts to make a vision a reality. Through employment in the Campus Center Complex students learn professionalism and leadership skills on the job.
