Student Employment

Over 2600 students are employed in the Student Employment Program at LMU. Will you be one of them?

Students at LMU contribute to the Westchester and campus communities while gaining valuable work experience. In addition to providing financial assistance for a student’s college education, student employment offers skill development, practical knowledge to add to the classroom environment and contributes to the overall college experience. Research shows that students who work moderate hours (10-20 hours/week) learn to manage their time better which can lead to improved academic performance. In addition, they enhance their awareness of campus resources, make real connections with faculty and staff, and work in an academically supportive work environment.
