A typical day at work involved completing graduate level coursework in communication and helping students with speech and debate competition. I learned what it means to do a large amount of hard work. The management and co-workers are very nice. The hardest part of the job was graduate level research. I most enjoyable part of the job was the people – more... I got to be around. – less

I provided database and recruiting assistance for the International Student & Study Abroad Program. Also helped with projects for the Government Relations program. Job evolved into Suffolk V.P.

It was a fun work study job that I picked up and they were very flexibly with me. Loved my boss and the other people who blogged with me.

My duties at the university included learning how the student database worked and assisting students in their day to day needs as far as viewing grades, classes, etc. I dispatched any service they needed regarding hardware, and assisted to a degree with any software issues they were having. I worked for a supportive and well informed team that never – more... failed to educate me on all of the jobs many tasks. The hardest part of the job was trouble shooting the software issues. Software is always changing, therefore the way we resolve issues continually changes as well. The most enjoyable thing about the position was the professional environment and the supportive team of people that I worked for. – less

This pro bono opportunity was a life-changing opportunity to explore ways in which those who have been given so much can reach back to young students from under-privileged, under-served high schools to encourage growth, professionalism and hope for the future.

I've enjoyed doing the research work as much as I enjoy my favorite team winning a championship..

Not much instruction. Overall ok experience but would not recommend this university to others.

Suffolk University offers me a good environment to teach undergraduate courses and work on my own research. I appreciate the opportunity to communicate with various groups of people including my students and my professors, which improved a lot my skills of leadership and teamworking.
