Student Employment - Specialist, TRIO STEM Peer Leader; Part-Time

Overview

TRIO STEM seeks students interested in supporting TRIO STEM participants as a mentor and peer leader. Our goal is to provide a productive, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment that will guide students toward study practices, success strategies and aides that help them excel both inside and outside of college.

Tutors work with individual students, although we encourage group activities for students who are studying the same material. TRIO offers inclusive, respectful and innovative assistance to motivate students to achieve their life and professional goals. We expect our new hires to embrace and practice our departmental values and culture. Our department also offers content‑specific workshops and project/research‑based learning opportunities.
