91¸£Àûµ¼º½

The starting hourly pay rates for University of North Georgia (91¸£Àûµ¼º½) student workers will increase to $11 for the 2022-23 academic year.

Student worker jobs offer the flexibility of hours through the ability to set one's own schedule. They also provide valuable experience that can help students grow their skills before graduating. Some positions will be posted soon, while Federal Work-Study jobs will be posted in July.

The Federal Work-Study jobs that will post during the summer require students to have an unmet financial need. Jill Rayner, director of financial aid, said students must fill out a Federal Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) form to determine their eligibility for those jobs.

Students can regularly check job openings by visiting the 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ Human Resources webpage. While many of the positions are on campus, 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ also provides some avenues for student employment tied to community service through nonprofits and government agencies. 

Student worker positions can provide up to 25 hours per week, depending on the office.

Azqa Qureshi's role as a Presidential Ambassador has certainly fit that bill. She assists with events through the Office of the President and the Office of University Events.

"There is never a day I come into work and leave without new knowledge about programs, the university, or event planning," Qureshi, a senior from Cumming, Georgia, pursuing a degree in kinesiology with a health and fitness concentration, said. "This is a job environment where you work with people of all ages, backgrounds, and experiences. Being personable and having an innate sense of adaptability is paramount to succeeding in this position. To put it simply, you have to prepare for the unexpected."

Amberlyn Muntz, a junior from Cartersville, Georgia, pursuing a degree in cybersecurity, serves as a student worker for both the Student Involvement office and Nighthawk Engagement and Student Transitions.

"Once I moved off campus, it has helped me stay involved," Muntz said. "I've learned so much about 91¸£Àûµ¼º½, and it's given me pride in being part of the university."

She has grown in her professionalism and customer service through her interactions with students, faculty, and staff in these roles. Muntz has also discovered her eye for details.

"I can see how I have improved on my marketing skills and designing graphics," Muntz said. "I've found my strengths in a work environment and the areas I can improve."
