On campus job opportunity with a housing upgrade!
UCA is starting a brand new tradition, and you are invited to be a part of it! Next year all entering freshmen will be a part of one of UCA’s vibrant learning communities expanding the opportunities offered by the Residential Colleges to all incoming students. Designed to engage students in specialized environments to fit their interests, UCA’s learning communities promote academic performance and offer developmental support – all under one roof.
The application for 2024-25 Learning Community Mentors, formerly known as Student Associates, is now open. Community Mentors (CMs) play a vital role in engaging students in activities that encourage personal, professional, and civic growth.
Community Mentors are paid to work up to 10 hours a week and live in a single room at the cost of a double occupancy room. This position is not a federal aid position and we welcome international applicants!
As part of the first cohort of community mentors for the newly expanded learning communities, mentors will create new traditions to help students connect with their community the second they step on campus. In partnering with each community's academic coordinators mentors will help students connect what they are learning to the wider world through co-curricular events and service learning opportunities.
For more information, please see the full posting attached or contact Bo Blew at bblew@uca.edu.
