The Wide Variety of On Campus Jobs NDSU Offers Students During the Summer and Fall

For students in the Fargo-Moorhead area, finding part-time employment that works around a class schedule and continues into the summer months, which can help cover expenses while also building professional experience, is difficult. Balancing classes, homework and a social life can already be demanding for many college students. Luckily, North Dakota State University offers a variety of on-campus jobs that allow students to earn money without traveling far from campus.

Working on campus is often one of the most convenient options for students because of the flexible scheduling and close proximity to classes.

The Wallman Wellness Center offers student employment opportunities ranging from front desk positions to intramural sports referees, aquatic lifeguards, swim instructors, fitness instructors and facility staff. The wellness center also has a daycare that may appeal to students interested in working with children.

One benefit of working at the Wallman Wellness Center is that employees receive free credit for participating on intramural teams while actively working there. The flexible scheduling can make it easier for students to balance summer classes, internships and extracurricular activities. On-campus jobs also eliminate the need for commuting across Fargo.

The North Dakota State University Library also offers employment opportunities for students throughout the year and summer months. Positions may include working at the front desk, organizing materials and assisting students with finding resources. These jobs may be especially fitting for students looking for a quieter work environment.

Dining services continue to hire students during the summer months as well. Both West Dining Center and Residence Dining Center offer part-time positions where students can serve food, manage registers and clean dishes. While hours may vary during the summer, positions often expand once students return in the fall.

The Memorial Union also provides several job opportunities for students looking to stay on campus. Positions in the union often include working in dining services, assisting with event setup and helping guests at information desks, including the bookstore. Because the union remains busy during summer orientation sessions and campus events, students may find steady work in this central location hub.

Students looking for coffee shop experience may also consider working at the Starbucks located inside Minard Hall. Employees help prepare drinks, take customer orders and maintain the café during busy class hours. The location can be especially convenient for students who spend much of their time near academic buildings on campus.

Students who enjoy interacting with others may also find opportunities through campus tour programs and tutoring services. North Dakota State University Admissions often hires student ambassadors to give campus tours, answer questions from incoming students and share their experiences with visiting families. These positions help students strengthen communication and leadership skills!

ACE tutoring also offers positions for students who excel academically and want to help peers succeed. Tutors may lead one-on-one sessions, assist with group tutoring and provide academic support in challenging courses.

For students hoping to stay close to campus while earning money, NDSU offers no shortage of opportunities both in the summer and during the school year!
