STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Although not able to guarantee employment, Cedarville College assists needy students by securing them part-time employment, both on the campus and in surrounding communities. The College has students employed in various part-time jobs on campus. These opportunities include work as secretaries, mailroom clerks, bookstore clerks, library assistants, campus maintenance, cafeteria assistants, and laboratory assistants. Employment also has been secured in the surrounding area in retail stores, factories, offices, on farms, and work for private individuals. Part-time work is important not only for financial assistance but also for providing practical job training for the student. The expe– rience gained from these jobs is useful when the student leaves the col– lege to apply for full-time employment. Although part-time student employment is not restricted to upper· classmen, freshmen should work only in the case of necessity. At least the first semester of the freshman year should be devoted to study and to adjustment to college life. Students who must work more than 20 hours a week should not plan to carry a full load of classroom work.
