Student Employment Opportunities

DePaul employs current students in a wide array of roles across the university and provides them with opportunities to develop and advance their academic and professional goals. The Division of Student Affairs offers many positions for students and students seeking to become leaders. These positions offer an opportunity to get more involved on campus and build skills that will be transferable to a career after graduation.

Accessing Job Information

To access job information, students must log in to the Campus Job Board, located on the right-hand side of the web page at studentemployment.depaul.edu. The Office of Student Employment serves as a central resource for students seeking on-campus jobs.

Developing Leadership Skills

Leadership education, development, and training for DePaul University students is a priority. Student Affairs uses a co-curricular, diverse, and community-based relational leadership model as our central focus. By engaging in leadership opportunities, students will acquire and develop leadership skills they can use to provide socially responsible leadership within various professional and organizational settings.

Internship Opportunities

The division has a long history of inviting post-baccalaureate and graduate-level students to intern within its departments. Many students fulfill their requirements for their degrees by completing required hours with one of our departments. Students have come from within DePaul as well as other neighboring institutions such as Loyola, Northwestern, Roosevelt and the University of Illinois at Chicago.

The Benefits of On-Campus Employment

An on-campus job offers more than just a paycheck and a short commute. It’s an opportunity to build professional and interpersonal skills, and gain experience that will prepare you for your future career.

Tips for Landing an On-Campus Job

As with any other job search, landing an on-campus job is a competitive process.

Cast a Wide Net: Like many jobs that are in high demand, it’s a numbers game. Apply to as many as seem to fit your needs, abilities, and availability.
Follow Up: Some job postings on Campus Job Board will include the hiring manager’s contact information.
Be Professional: This may seem obvious, but many on-campus job applicants make the mistake of under-dressing for the interview or approaching it too informally. Do your research and prepare. Dress professionally. Be on time.

Commitment to Equal Opportunity and Safety

DePaul University is an equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to hiring for our mission and diversifying our faculty and staff.

Title IX Compliance

Federal Title IX policy requires that all colleges and universities make known the contact information for the person responsible for coordinating its efforts to comply with Title IX responsibilities. At DePaul University, the Title IX Coordinator is Molly Lamping Fleck. Her office is located in Lincoln Park on the 3rd floor of the Student Center, 2250 N. Sheffield Avenue.

Safety and Security Information

Each year, DePaul releases a Safety and Security Information Report and Fire Safety Report. The Report includes statistics about crimes that occurred on campus and public property immediately adjacent to campus; institutional policies concerning campus security, sexual assault and other matters; and fire statistics, fire safety practices and standards of the institution. DePaul will provide a paper copy upon request.

Mandated Reporting of Child Abuse & Neglect

Upon accepting an offer of employment with the university, you will also be required to sign an Acknowledgement of Mandated Reporter Status at the time of hire. A mandated reporter is required to make a report to the Illinois DCFS Hotline whenever there is reasonable cause to believe that a child known to them in their professional or official capacity may be abused or neglected.
