For casual employees (newsroom staff, photographers, production/online, ad sales), staff members are hired one semester at a time. As each semester’s staff is formed, applications are accepted for all positions. After that time, as staff turnover occurs during a semester, applications are accepted for open positions ... and only for open positions. Position openings are advertised in The Shorthorn and in the Student Publications office in the lower level of the University Center.
For hourly employees (receptionists, courier, news clerk, ad assistant, marketing assistant, accounting assistant), staff members are hired one semester at a time, but applications are taken only as job vacancies occur.
