Student Employmentcampusrec.illinois.edu/employment

Working at Campus Recreation has been one of the best decisions I’ve made since coming to the University of Illinois. I was able to complete an internship as well as take advantage of the promotional opportunities and cross-employment. The shifts worked around my class schedule, and I always felt a significant emphasis on school coming first. As a bonus, I got to make and work with great friends. With a wide variety of positions and facilities, I do believe it is a place for everyone.

Nicole Robinson, Student Development Grad Assistant & HR Intern
