Do You Supervise Student Employees?
We Want to Hear From You!
As part of our continued commitment to student success, we’re gathering valuable feedback from both students employees and supervisors about on-campus employment.
If you supervise student employees, including Federal Work-Study students, please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey. If you supervise graduate assistant(s) only, you do not need to complete the survey, however, all feedback is appreciated.
Your responses will help us recognize what’s working well and identify opportunities to strengthen our student employment efforts. Your insights are incredibly important to us!
Questions? Please reach out to Eliana Guzman, Director of Administrative Services, Innovative Education and Student Success, via email emoguzma@fiu.edu.
