Summer 2024 - PreCollege Programs Night Host (NH)

The PreCollege Programs consist of eight academic residential programs for middle and high school students from multicultural and diverse socioeconomic backgrounds to explore higher education, available majors and job opportunities associated with those majors. Since PreCollege participants are minors, they must be chaperoned and monitored 24/7. Therefore, PreCollege Programs hires UW Oshkosh college students to work with the participants during their time on campus. Each Night Host will be assigned to one floor in the residence hall. They are to monitor the floor throughout the night shift from 9:00 PM - 6:00 AM to ensure that all PreCollege participants and staff are safe and accounted for throughout the night.
