Student Employment Opportunities with UASC

The University Academic Support Centers (UASC) typically employs over 120 KU students (undergraduate and graduate students) each year in various roles. Research has demonstrated that working on-campus can improve student success in the classroom. 

UASC hires students as office assistants, tutors, supplemental instruction leaders, undergraduate and graduate writing consultants, graduate program coordinators, peer academic coaches/mentors, academic success workshop facilitators, text editors, and in-class academic aides for students with disabilities. We are looking for students interested in supporting the diverse KU student population.

UASC strives to make diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging a core reflex, not just an initiative. We believe students learn best when they feel a sense of commitment from our staff to create authentic and welcoming environments that celebrate their differences and empower their unique capabilities.

Student Testimonials 

I like the freedom that we are given as social media interns to come up with our own ideas, and our input is always taken seriously by the professional staff. There is a lot of support from the staff, so I always know what is expected of me. I always like coming up with new designs for posts or ideas on how to reach students.

It’s a perfect college office job. The workload is minimal, leaving time for homework, the people are very nice and easy to work with, and I get to be part of a great organization that genuinely helps students.

Working with students at the Writing Center has allowed me to feel more close to the KU community. I get to help people navigate their writing in a way that leaves both them and me feeling satisfied after an appointment, and that is so special to me.
