Student Affairs Jobs

Student Affairs is comprised of nearly 20 departments and is focused on supporting student well-being and success with the ultimate goal of assisting students in discovering their passion, people, and purpose. To that end, we aim to foster an environment that encourages employees to embrace innovative service delivery methods to best meet the needs of our students. As a result, students have the opportunity to participate in the creation of campus culture, collaboratively working alongside professional staff, student leaders, and academic partners.

Student Affairs departments serve all students at the University of Utah, including undergraduate, graduate, and professional students who come from a variety of backgrounds. In order to best support our students, it is important that staff stay aware of issues and best practices related to student development, identity, and sense of belonging, both locally and nationally.

This position is work study eligible, but work study is not required.

The Center for Campus Wellness (CCW) is a confidential and comprehensive wellness office that provides wellness education, trainings and workshops (focus areas include financial wellness, mental health, sexual health, violence prevention, and substance use); victim-survivor advocacy services and support; safer sex services for students; collegiate recovery program, wellness coaching, and peer mentorship.

The Office of Fraternity & Sorority Life oversees the 22 social fraternities and sororities at the University of Utah and exists to provide programming and support in the areas of campus engagement, personal and community development, health and wellness, risk reduction and prevention, and the promotion of leadership development. This is done through the engagement of student leaders, faculty, staff, advisors, and alumni.

We are hiring student staff who will serve as Fraternity & Sorority Peer Wellbeing Ambassadors (PWAs) with our team. We are recruiting approximately 2 positions.

PWAs are a committed group of students who understand the importance of health and wellness, the value of connecting students to resources on campus to be successful while at the U, and who want to empower themselves and their peers to make positive changes. During their first semester as a PWA, students will learn about the different programs and services that CCW and FSL offers and will further the missions of both offices by supporting our outreach efforts (through tabling, workshop presentations and researched based content creation).

General PWA Trainings Include:

All PWAs will assist with the following educational and awareness campaigns: Annual campaigns like Suicide Prevention, Domestic Violence Awareness, Healthy Relationships, Harm Reduction, and Sexual Assault Awareness months; frequent STI testing clinics; educational workshops on healthy relationships, bystander intervention, etc.; and so much more…

FSL Branch: FSL PWAs will train with CCW and assist staff from the Fraternity and Sorority Life office to plan, implement, and evaluate health education programs for their FSL peers. These programs will include many of the workshops that the other PWAs lead indicated above, as well as programming that is specifically designed for Fraternity and Sorority Life. Some examples include hazing prevention, campus resource education, risk reduction training, etc.

Scheduling Expectations:

Beginning Fall Semester through the last day of classes for the spring semester, PWAs are expected to work 10-12 hours per week. These hours may be held during regular business hours (8-5, M-F) but will also include evening or weekend events/programs. For FSL PWAs, these office hours will be held in the FSL Office. PWAs will not be required to work during academic breaks (fall, winter, spring), University closure days or holidays when Student Affairs is closed, or during finals week for the fall or spring semester. 

Mandatory Training (Paid): 25 hours of online, self-paced training to complete during the summer.
