Student Staff

The Department of Music is committed to promoting undergraduate student employment opportunities that can provide valuable work/education experience. Mutually, the department benefits and grows with the vast talents, insight, and enthusiasm students bring to these roles. 

We are not currently taking new applications for employment. Keep an eye on our website and Student Employment Application later in the summer – we will post updates when we are ready to accept applications for the 2024/25 school year!
