The Office of Campus Recreation is proud to be one of the largest employers of students at the University of South Carolina. Approximately 200 students are hired annually to service the recreational needs of the Carolina Community.
The majority of the budget allocated from student fees is returned to the student body in the form of wages. The services rendered by student employees are crucial to the success and operation of the program. The Office of Campus Recreation recognizes that these wages may complement funds needed to pay for the cost of a college education. Thus, whenever possible, students will be hired.
