26-27 NFWS Student Worker, Campus Safety
About The Position
The Campus Safety NFWS Student Worker supports the Campus Safety department in two capacities: (1) as Event Staff, providing a safety and customer-service presence at University events, and (2) as a Relief Pool Officer, covering open shifts within the regular Campus Safety patrol schedule. This is a non-sworn, entry-level student position that operates under the direct supervision of full-time Campus Safety staff. The role does not carry law-enforcement authority, arrest powers, or independent judgment calls on policy or disciplinary matters — it supports and executes the processes and post orders defined by Campus Safety leadership.
