Not your average work study job.

Launched in 2004 with 20 students working in 18 departments, the Rhodes Student Associate (RSA) Program began as an experiment aimed at reforming student employment on-campus. The program has become a source for sought-after student jobs because it offers meaningful employment that require advanced skills and dedication. Currently, over 100 positions are available in more than 40 academic and administrative departments.  

 

The RSA Program is open only to current students who may apply for a position not before the spring semester of their freshman year, and until the spring of their junior year.
