The opportunity

Employees must be willing, on occasion, to work flexible hours, late nights and weekends. This position also supports the Office of Student Involvement in general, and employees may participate in special projects as assigned. Our student employees are essential in helping us build community and support others finding a sense of belonging at SNHU, especially as our commuter population may not as easily make the connection. We look to hire students who demonstrate integrity.

Learning Goals:

Students working in the Office of Student Involvement will deepen their understanding around the 5 values through learning that will take place on the job, through the opportunity to attend conferences, monthly individual staff training, department semester trainings and celebrations. These values are:

• Community: Fostering a sense of belonging through intentional engagement opportunities
• Continual Improvement: Assessing and evaluating to strive for personal and programmatic growth
• Inclusivity: Providing opportunities for the diverse needs and interests of our community
• Integrity: Operating in a manner marked by honesty and authenticity
• Teamwork: Cultivating an atmosphere of supportive interdependence

We believe real innovation comes from inclusion - where different experiences, perspectives and talents are celebrated. So if you're wondering whether SNHU is right for you, take the leap and apply. You might be just the person we're looking for.
