Options include:
- partnering with a faculty or staff member, student, or group of students for a short-term project (for instance, a project with one class for one semester)
- partnering with a faculty or staff member, student, or group of students for a long-term project or a series of projects (for instance, a multi-disciplinary project involving more than one faculty/staff member and/or courses for more than one semester)
- employing a student as an intern
- participating in our community-based programs
Community-based learning work study enables students to be employed off-campus using federal work study awards. The federal work study award pays 75% of the student's wages, and the community partner organization (which must be a non-profit) pays the other 25%. The default wage is minimum wage, though some community partners choose to pay more. Positions should involve work which connects meaningfully to a student's course of study and/or to their career goals.
