Job Rotation Program

Our Job Rotation Program participants experience four 6-month rotation assignments over two years to provide broad exposure across campus in different facets of their selected track: finance, human resources (HR), or information technology (IT). Job Rotation Program participants do important work that has an impact throughout their two years in the program.

Each rotation is uniquely designed through a combination of university priorities and individual interests. Prioritizing the employee experience cultivates a resilient and engaging culture within the Job Rotation Program and across the work environments you will be immersed in.
