Research indicates that students who work on campus are more likely to stay in school and complete their degree. Campus jobs are conveniently located for students, and pay rates often match comparable positions at off-campus locations. When students work with University staff, they have employers and co-workers who understand student issues and who can connect students with valuable campus resources.
