Student Employment

Student employees play an active, vital role on the Emory University campus. Data Services works closely with the Student Employment Office and the Payroll Office to ensure timely processing of hiring paperwork for all new student employees. Because most student employees are hired at very high-volume periods, Departmental Representatives are encouraged to submit paperwork in a timely manner. Contact Shauntae Cleveland at (404) 712-9274 in Human Resources Data Services to receive training on the student hiring process and corresponding paperwork requirements.
