Between 2022 and 2023, labor union and strike activity on college campuses increased to represent over 35,000 new workers, with many of these workers being graduate students (Herbert, 2023). As strike activity has continued into 2024 and beyond, it is necessary to understand how institutions responded to strikes to consider how their response may…

Student employment is a common co-curricular activity among undergraduate students. Previous studies have primarily focused on the impact of employment on academic outcomes and post-graduation labor market success. Although there is an assumption that on-campus student employment influences leadership learning, there is a lack of research directly…

How do we scale student participation in high-impact practices (HIPs) on campuses where there is limited supply? Student employment, not an official HIP yet, has potential to fill this gap.
