Student employment is a win-win for both the student and the on-campus employer. Mount Mercy University offers numerous student employment positions to maintain daily campus operations and for students to develop skills for future employment while earning additional financial resources.
A work-study position at Mount Mercy University is the perfect way to get involved and earn additional financial funds. Throughout my time at MMU, I had positions in the International Office, Athletic Office, Busse Library, and the Marketing and Communication department. In each of these departments, I got to know numerous resourceful people, built valuable lasting relationships and deeply enjoyed helping other students, faculty, staff, and the entire University. On your resume, work-study positions show your commitment, desire to learn, your ability to handle multiple responsibilities simultaneously, and help you build your personal brand. I highly recommend on-campus employment to every Mount Mercy student.
Many students are offered employment as part of their financial aid award. Awards generally range between $1,000-$2,000 per year with students working 6-10 hours per week. The student is expected to work during the hours agreed upon with the supervisor.
Every effort will be made to place the student in a job related to his/her field of interest and/or past experience. However, there is no guarantee of employment or the amount the student will earn. The funds are only disbursed when the student works the required hours.
