STEM Center Position Description Information Video!
In this section, you will find:
STEM Center tutors are important paid student leadership positions on campus that offer the opportunity to assist or support peers to accomplish their academic goals. At the same time, working in the STEM Center creates opportunities to strengthen and maintain one's own communication, teamwork, and academic skills, as well as share in the student-facing and backend organizational dynamics of Gannon University’s largest student employer. Tutors, who are usually undergraduate STEM or business majors, generally either work as a one-on-one tutor in our Nash Library location supporting Gannon STEM/business courses they performed well in, or as a STEM-PASS tutor, leading multiple extra-help sessions each week for students in a targeted course while going the extra mile to prepare relevant and helpful session material. Additional leadership and responsibilities are available as part of several of our open positions (see below).
New 1-on-1 tutors can generally work anywhere from 5 to 7.5 hours/week (tutor's choice) whereas STEM-PASS tutors may work 5 to 12 hours/week depending on overall preferences, needs, and arrangements.
All tutors are required and expected to communicate with STEM Center staff, student managers, other tutors, students, and occasionally faculty and staff, in order to facilitate quality work.
At this time, we are primarily hiring for work beginning Fall 2025 and beyond for all of our tutoring and tutor leadership roles. Our intent is to fill all openings soon after the listed priority dates; however, positions may still remain open.
If you are interested in working as a STEM Center tutor/leader, please fill out our initial application here: https://forms.office.com/r/yncKMKCZfm
Those selected to be provisionally hired will then be directed to an official posting on Gannon's PeopleAdmin website which initiates "actually being hired" from the University perspective.

STEM Center Interviews (required part of the application process, to be completed after submitting the above application form):
You must self-schedule this interview. To schedule,
At these interviews, we may ask to discuss further any of your responses in this application and/or an attached resume. Additionally, you may be asked questions pertaining to how you might plan handle routine or difficult scenarios that could arise when working at the STEM Center. You will also have an opportunity to ask any questions you have, as well. You do not need to bring any materials to this interview, and there is no need to "dress up"; your normal attire for the day is fine. After the interview, the student employees running the interview will submit a brief form to the Director summarizing the interview experience.
There is no specific thing that we are looking to observe in order to "nail the interview". Behaviors, traits, characteristics, and skills important to tutoring and work in the STEM Center are the only things we are looking for, and for each, there are many ways in which they can be shown! You will not be asked questions that must be answered with sensitive information about your academic performance or private issues.
Student employees running interviews *will* be provided with your resume (if attached) and responses you give on this application (other than your phone number, addresses, and personal email address) in order to facilitate a meaningful experience, but *will not* have access to your course grades or other student records.
Next steps!
If you are hired, you will be invited to begin a paid orientation phase this April in order to get a jump start on preparing you for next semester. This is expected to be 10-15 hours total, and will be scheduled rather flexibly in small pieces. In the event that you cannot partake in this, we will instead provide orientation around the start of the fall semester; any missed elements will be required to be completed before all normal work can commence.
We will also expect to have required training for all tutors at the start of the fall semester, and facilitate communications and sessions related to getting-started at that time as well. An exact schedule is not yet determined, but the current plan is to *not* have a lengthy training day or to schedule inflexible commitments before classes begin.
