Not only is February a busy month for career events and recruitment activity, it is also a month to celebrate student success. In the following articles you'll read how student employees are retained at higher rates and how MU grads continue on a path of achievement based on the record-breaking 2020 career outcomes results.   

Our talented students show time and again they are pursuing excellence and we are grateful for our faculty and staff partners who are providing advising, mentorship and referrals to help them be successful! 

The MU Career Center is seeking dedicated student employees for a Student Employee Advisory Board who would be willing to contribute on a voluntary basis in discussions for enhancing the student employment experience. This opportunity is highly recommended for students interested in gaining analytical ability, critical thinking, problem solving and leadership skills.

Interested student employees will need to submit an application and resume for consideration by February 12th. The Student Employee Advisory Board operations are expected to start during the spring 2021 semester. To maintain continuity of the board, we encourage students who are graduating after December 2021 to apply. The opportunity is open to all student employees regardless of undergraduate or graduate status. We hope you will share this opportunity with your student employees.

For further information and for submitting applications please visit: https://missouri.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6Gydg7CtpjekcWG. Questions should be directed to Amanda Purchase Roberts or Mr. Unmesh Edwankar. With this opportunity, we look forward to nurture and enhance the learning experience for student employees.

 

Based on analysis of 2019-2020 on-campus student employees, on-campus employment is associated with higher retention for new first-year students, transfer students, and continuing undergraduate students. This also applies for underrepresented minority incoming freshmen and continuing undergraduate students.
