Supervisors
By employing students in your department, you are fulfilling an operational need while providing growth and development opportunities for the students. For many students, working at Bowdoin is a chance to practice and learn the skills and competencies that will make them successful in the future. Your role as a supervisor, and often mentor, is a vital part of that process.
As of April 3, 2023, student jobs will no longer be posted on JobX. All student on-campus jobs will be posted on Workday through the requisition process.
Workday is Bowdoin's student job board, hiring, payroll, and time-tracking system. Visit the Workday Resources page for information and guides on the following.
