Announcing Changes to the Student Employment Program

As of June 1, 2020, we are no longer requiring attendance at a Student Employment New Hire Orientation (SE-NHO) for student employees.  The information discussed in SE-NHO can now be accessed on the Student Employment Portal.  For quick reference we have created short videos on timeheets and key points in the Student Employee Handbook.  In addition, we have created a quiz for the students to complete after watching the videos.
