Student Administrative Aide 1 - College Programs

Overview

Newcomb-Tulane College’s College Programs Interns are professional representatives of the

undergraduate college at Tulane University. Interacting with various audiences – faculty,

students, staff, families, community members, and more – interns are expected to adhere to the

mission of the college and contribute positively to the experience of all Tulane University

constituents.

Work Hours & Pay

Interns are generally scheduled to work 9-10 hours per week, Monday through Friday, between

9 AM and 4:30 PM. Additional hours may be offered when support is necessary for events

outside of office hours. Interns are paid $13/hour.

Intern Characteristics

Interns should be professional; they play a large role in student, faculty, and staff impressions of

Newcomb-Tulane College and should strive to be ambassadors of the office. Much of the intern

work is independent, so we value strong initiative and open and timely communication around

the office. Lastly, while class and exam times always take priority, we expect interns to place

their work responsibilities second to school, as we rely on interns to complete the work of the

office.

Student interns are an integral part of the college and are given opportunities to build a

professional portfolio of experience. Student interns support the college mission through:

● Supporting academic programs that enhance the undergraduate academic experience

● Engaging with faculty, staff, and students to provide a positive and educational

experience for all
