exception funding

Just the other day I was approached by two Aspect students, and asked if I could answer a quick question. Thinking myself a helpful and cultured person, I willingly obliged. I must say I was a little taken aback when they asked if I thought money could buy happiness. My immediate answer was “Why, yes; yes, it can. Albeit, a faux happiness, but a temporary happiness nonetheless.”

Having had more time to fully reflect on the question, I realized that while money may buy some people happiness, it is most definitely buying all of us higher education (which some may say is happiness itself, or a path to future happiness).

Work-Study Student:

Sophomore Ituala Cameron gets her work-study hours at the Leadership, Experience and Programs office (LEAP). Her job as an office assistant entails answering phones, answering questions about campus events and scheduling appointments. “It’s chill; it’s an office job,” Cameron said. “If you want to get active on campus I might not recommend it, but you do learn a lot.”

Cameron explained how as a first-year she met her boss, who she casually calls Eva, at the Work-Study Fair. “I was hired on the spot,” Cameron said. She has worked the same position since her first year and enjoys steady hours as well as a relaxing job that teaches her about the inner workings of how to run events on campus.
