Students

Students bring life to the Events and Conferences Office. If you like to work hard and play hard, all while developing relationships and expanding your skill set, then this is the place for you!

The Events and Conferences Office provides an opportunity for students to work closely with our dedicated full-time staff in the behind-the-scenes work for many of the events at 熊猫在线视频, ranging from performances to concerts to lectures to sporting events. There's something here for everyone 鈥 whether you want to sell and collect tickets, provide sound and video assistance, create the posters for arts and athletic events or stick around during the summer as a housing assistant or conference coordinator, we want to help you succeed. You're not just a student worker here; you are part of our team, and we want to see you grow and leave the office better than when you came in.

鈥淚 repeatedly tell everyone that this job and these people are my safe place. Every single person that works in this office is loved and respected, and it creates a community that I honestly don't think can be found anywhere else on campus. One of the best decisions I've made in college was to put my application in here.鈥  鈥擱achel Blough 鈥18
