Join the Student Engagement Team
The Office of Student Engagement welcomes graduate and undergraduate students who want to learn more about how students are engaged on the USC campus. We offer the following opportunities:
Graduate Assistant positions
OSE hires graduate students each year to help support programs and initiatives run through the office. Currently, OSE is hiring for TWO GA positions for the 2013-14 academic year.

Practicum
OSE is happy to work with graduate students on creating hands-on learning experiences that count as a part of a practicum course. Due to the amount of projects and space available in the office, we are limited to the number of practicum I or II students we can have at once. Practicum students do not have to be strictly from the USC HESA program. Please contact Kimberly Dressler, Coordinator for Student Engagement, to discuss potential practicum plans.
Volunteers
If a graduate student would like to learn more about OSE, but does not have availability for a summer internship or course practicum, OSE is happy to work with them to arrange volunteer opportunities within the office to work on specific projects.
Undergraduate Student Assistants
Each year OSE hires one undergraduate student to help with marketing and graphic design throughout the summer and academic year.
For information on any of these positions, please contact the Kimberly Dressler, Coordinator for Student Engagement, at kdressler@sc.edu.
