Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.
An on-campus or district student position can be the best way to focus on your studies while also gaining valuable and marketable work experience. Students can apply for positions as part of their financial aid (Federal Work Study linked to the FAFSA application) or positions that do not require financial aid through the FAFSA (i.e. Department-Funded Work Study). Learn more about your options on the Student Employment website.
- Make an appointment to select two free professional outfits each semester. All students visiting the
Career Closet must be approved to come to campus through Cleared4.
