Campus Supervisors

As a campus supervisor...

...you have an opportunity to impact students’ career and academic success by adding quality and meaning to the student employment experience. Campus employment is often one of the first professional experiences for many students. Your mentorship empowers them to make important and valued contributions to your department while developing marketable skills with which to build a meaningful career after college.

Clearly defined expectations, timely feedback, and opportunities for growth and development are essential for the success of student employees. Career and Employment Services (CES) has developed the following tools to help you enhance the student employment experience.
