The hiring process is competitive, and employees tend to be satisfied with their challenging jobs. As a result, many students return to work for the Commons year after year, which may reduce the number of immediate openings available during a given semester. A cumulative grade point average of 2.2 and enrolled student status are the only pre-requisites for application acceptance.
All applicants interview with student supervisors and other members of our staff.
