For the eighth consecutive year, ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ is hosting the summer Work4College program. Over 10-weeks, students in the program have the opportunity to work in 21 different areas across 3 different campuses to earn income for their future ÂÒÉ«ÎÞÂëÈËÆÞÊÓƵӰԺ education.
This summer we are looking for individuals or departments that deserve a Summer Shout Out for going the extra mile assisting students, other employees, or departments. Maybe a colleague took time out of their day to resolve a problem or provided extra assistance to help a student succeed.
