The Polsky Tutoring Labs are seeking highly motivated, dedicated students interested in working as student assistants as part of a team providing tutorial support to students on campus.  Student assistants at our reception desk are the backbone of our team, as they are responsible for scheduling appointments for our tutors, running our computer software program, controlling the flow of students into the labs, and managing the phone. While earning some income has its benefits, playing a significant role in the academic success of others is a daily reward for everyone on our team of outstanding student employees. 

We offer:

  • a clean, safe work environment conveniently located on main campus.
  • a work schedule built around your class schedule.
  • a consistent weekly schedule throughout the semester.
  • training and professional development focused on skills coveted by employers upon graduation.

  • must be available Thursday, January 9, 2025, for paid training;
  • are undergraduate students enrolled in 6 or more credits each semester while employed;
  • have morning or early afternoon availability several days per week;
  • are willing to work at least ten (10) hours per week;
