At the moment, we're not yet hiring for the new semester, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be. We’re just not ready to onboard a new group of student workers yet. I appreciate your patience please check back around with me mid-September for updates. Also, a quick reminder: you don’t need to be a computer science or tech major to apply. We welcome students from all majors and backgrounds so don’t let that hold you back! I hope this helps a bit and if there is something I am missing yall will like or need information on please post here and I will update as I can! We are ITS, and we are here to help. Troy J.
