Student Employee Testimonials

  • "Working at the Centers has been an excellent experience for me.

    "The work environment is real-world and professional while staying flexible and nurturing. Here in the Centers we deal with real-world projects with real deadlines and real budgets, but the staff makes sure you are never overwhelmed. They understand you are a student first, and encourage you to organize your time appropriately and will always make sure you learn from everything you do. Working in this casual, student-driven organization has allowed me make many friends as well as offer my input in many very large decisions.

    "This has been a great place to work and the experiences I have had in the last year have been infinitely valuable to me."

    Cory Freeman, Graphic Design & Promotions Coordinator University Centers Administration Office
