What do students enjoy most about working on-campus?
- What I enjoy most about working on campus is still getting interactions with other students even though my courses are all online as I finish up my degree. I've met so many great professors and students throughout my time working here and I'm very thankful!
- The thing I enjoy most about working on campus is where I work is pretty mainstream and I get to meet a whole bunch of people! I also enjoy the fact that I am able to do homework while I am working.
- The people. I enjoy how each job has allowed me an unique opportunity to interact with and serve Heartland's faculty and students. You sure learn a lot too! It has been nothing, but a rewarding experience.
- I enjoy learning more about the library system, meeting others, and learning what the campus has to offer. Because of having this job, I would not have met the people I know now.
