Intercollegiate athletics are undergoing a transformative phase. Over the last few decades, student-athletes have valiantly fought for and successfully secured more rights, benefits, and freedoms, including the right to compensation for their name, image, and likeness (NIL). This progress, however, is just the beginning. Many student-athletes and…

In order to study the big data of college students' employment, this paper takes the big data of college students' employment as the premise, analyzes the current employment data by establishing a DBN model, and puts forward relevant management measures, aiming to provide scientific basis for the management of graduates' employment data. The…

Balancing part-time work and studies has become commonplace for university students in Canada and other countries where the costs of education have risen over time. While there is a substantial literature on the impacts of term-time work on studies, little has been written about campus employment programs, which are becoming more commonplace in…

College student employment has become an important aspect of life for many students pursuing higher education. Student employment programs provide students with the opportunity to earn income while learning skills that contribute to their personal and professional development. The impact of student employment on student development and the overall…

College student employees are not only serving the overall mission of their institutions, but also developing career readiness skills through daily interactions while at work. In this study, I explore the perceptions of the supervisors of student employees as both managers and student affairs professionals. Through one-on-one interviews with…

In this policy brief, we use research findings to illuminate experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic of U.S. rural college students from poor and working-class backgrounds. We offer institutional, state, and federal policy lessons gleaned from such experiences. We show how rural, poor and working-class students' higher education success was…

Working while attending college has become a reality of the student experience, especially for low-income, adult, and BIPOC students. Particularly, off-campus employment is commonplace but may not be fully understood by higher education professionals as an educationally effective activity. This paper is grounded in current literature on the…

With the rising costs of tuition, many students may feel the need to work to keep up with the expense of their studies. Student work may lead to more on-the-job training and a larger professional network, but it can also divert time away from studying and reduce academic performance. For many students, Pell Grants defray a significant portion (if…

National research demonstrates that students working on campus remain enrolled at rates higher than their peers who do not work or work off-campus. Considered by many to be a High-Impact Practice (HIP) (McClellan, Creager, and Savoca 2018), the student employment experience is an integral part of students' education, growth, and development.…

A growing number of university students balance concurrent study and work. Previous studies highlight potential benefits including heightened career awareness alongside risks including decreased study time. This study asked to what extent paid work affects university students' self-assessment of perceived employability. The study employed an…

Even though there is an increasing number of degree-mobile students in Europe, not much is known about the effect of student employment on academic performance and study progress for international students. International students broadly engage in student employment during their studies. They differ in several characteristics from native students…

This study used data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education to consider whether college student employment was associated with changes in two measures of students' diversity attitudes: openness to diversity and challenge and universal-diverse orientation. Additionally, this study considered whether interactions with diverse peers…

The recent complexity of the university system, with diverse academic trajectories and varying socio-demographic characteristics of students, has led to increased access for historically underrepresented students. This has resulted in a rising number of adult learners, students with external responsibilities and individuals returning to education.…

Using data from 27 European countries in the academic years 2005/06, 2010/11, and 2015/16, we investigate the association between student funding policies and student labour during term time -- a phenomenon often seen as detrimental for higher education outcomes. Income substitution effects between entitlements to different types of financial aid…

Managing boundaries between students' work and study roles is crucial for success at university. Little research has examined the strategies used to manage these roles, the factors that relate to implementing them, and the outcomes associated with their use. Boundary management theory, an identity-based perspective, explains boundary management…
