Campus job holders

Student workers are people employed by an educational institution while enrolled as students there.

The term typically refers to undergraduate or graduate students working part-time campus jobs—in libraries, dining halls, administrative offices, or research labs.

These positions often offer flexible hours around class schedules and may provide tuition assistance: The library relies heavily on student workers during finals week.
