UO Libraries Stories
“The Library Student Employment Fund gives students from every college and discipline the opportunity to support their studies financially through meaningful, academically linked employment that enhances their independent learning and research skills. On-campus employment is a research-backed, high-impact practice that we know leads to better student academic outcomes, and I’m so thrilled by the range of experiences we offer to our students.”
