Unbeatable Benefits

"I choose to work at UNI for many reasons. The benefits are a major factor, from retirement to health insurance, the benefits package is hard to beat! I also enjoy campus colleagues and the culture in which I feel supported both as an employee and as a mom. Life is busy and can throw you curveballs. I've been fortunate to call this place my work home for over 15 years and I have full intentions of remaining a UNI employee until the day I retire!"

People that Care

"By far the best part of working at UNI is the people.  The atmosphere is collegial, people are kind and respectful, and folks care about student success.  These aspects make coming to campus every day less stressful."
