Planning for the Future
"I love going to work because I'm surrounded by amazing people who help me learn and grow continuously. I am grateful UNI helps me plan for my future with a retirement plan. At 22, I have a great outlook for my career and feel better and more prepared for my future."
- Annie, Food Service Supervisor
Amazing Experiences
"In my role on campus in Transfer Admissions, I work closely with various academic departments, providing the opportunity to interact with partners across campus. Through a connection with UNI Study Abroad, I was selected as a UNI Global Ambassador which provided me the opportunity to tag along with a Faculty-Led study abroad program to Berlin, Germany. It was a fantastic professional development opportunity, but also a chance to experience academics first hand. I'm thankful for the amazing experiences I've had while working at UNI."
- Olivia, Assistant Director Transfer Recruitment
Providing New Experiences
"My position has something new and different every day. In the sheer amount of events we hold, we don't do the same artist series every year and what a lot of people don't realize is that we (the Gallagher Bluedorn) employ about 40-50 student stage hands. I may not be a faculty member, but it's really fun to teach students who have likely never had a theatre job before. A recent graduate, a sociology major, said it was the most fun job he's ever had."
- Chris, Technical Service Director
