SU Libraries Student Employment
The SU Libraries are one of the largest employers of student workers on the °®ÆＧ campus. We are proud to be able to enrich so many students’ college experience by providing them opportunities to develop real-world job skills outside of the classroom.
Our Student Workers
The SU Libraries typically employs more than 30 student workers every fall and spring semester, and even has several positions available during summer and winter terms. Students work in all areas of the Guerrieri Academic Commons, from our Library Service Desk on the first floor to the Nabb Center for Delmarva History and Culture on the fourth floor, as well as in the Curriculum Resource Center in Conway Hall.
I love working at the library because all of the staff are dedicated to making sure everyone who comes in feels respected and valued. If you feel like you don't belong anywhere on campus, the library has a spot for you.
