What do students like about working for the STEM Center?
“Finding a job where I can both refresh my knowledge on core concepts in
STEM and help others on one-on-one or small groups is an amazing opportunity!”
“I have a relatively long commute time to and from the IUN campus, and it was very helpful to have a job on campus.”
“I really love the flexibility that being a tutor allows me. I am able to expand my
knowledge and share my love for geoscience with others!”
“I like being able to sit in the lectures and being able to walk around the class during group work and help if anyone is stuck on a questions or concept.”
“The environment and other STEM Center employees are so friendly.”
“It allows me to have on-campus interactions with both faculty and students, thus giving me lots of networking experiences I would not have had otherwise. Everyone in the STEM Center really cares about helping students.”
“What I like most about being a STEM Center employee is when I see students coming back to my STEM Center tutoring sessions. This makes me feel like my tutoring is helping them in their courses and achieving their academic goals.”
“I enjoy the “aha” moments, when other students can learn, understand, excel and apply their knowledge.”
“It allows me to work on relaying information in a way that is understandable to someone who has not learned the material.”
“I might want to work towards a Master’s degree in CIS, which would allow me to work as an instructor for a school. My STEM center job would help me work towards this professional goal by interacting with students and working with course materials.”
“I plan to go pre-med and doing this job could really help build up my resume and help me build beneficial connections.”
