Federal work study, a financial blessing for some, has been a burden for others. The program, which is intended to provide practical work experience, along with a paycheck for students, has been the brunt of complaints by various departments and students who are not satisfied with their experiences.
“I have big shoes to fill. Jean Moore was here for 15 years, she did a great job and was praised by students. I want to continue in trying to match students with the right jobs,” said Aaron Phanco of his new position as Student Employment Specialist.
After 13 years at the University as Student Employment Specialist, Jean Moore will retire at the end of this year to relax, spend time with her grandchildren and start volunteering again.
