Responsibility
of a Student Employee
The opportunity for a
student to work is a fundamental part of the college’s philosophy and
goals. Participation in the
work study program is voluntary. Every
student is urged to take advantage of this opportunity to learn about
work, and through work, add to the total educational experience.

in the work study program includes the following responsibilities.
