If you’re commuting, living off-campus, or are a non-traditional student, you’re not alone. Off-campus and non-traditional students make up a large portion of our student body. We understand, however, that being an off-campus and/or non-traditional student presents many challenges. Student Coordinators serve as key student leaders to help provide programs and services for this large population. This position entails program planning, outreach, marketing, research, and office duties. Serving as a Student Coordinator is a paid position (minimum wage) and offers ten hours of work weekly.
