Administrative Operations
About Us
The Stamp Administrative Operations unit was established in May 2021, uniting the Human Resources (HR) and Business functions under a single point of leadership to provide a seamless administrative experience.
Today, our unit is comprised of a dedicated team—an Associate Director, two Business Managers, two Coordinators, and a small team of part-time student employees—who oversee the HR & Finance portfolios within the Adele H. Stamp Student Union – Center for Campus Life. We are committed to supporting a talented, engaged, and inclusive workforce that enhances the campus community.

Undergraduate Student Employment
Please be advised, when applying for a student position your application is only for the job you have applied for. The only units hiring in Stamp will place job postings on the UHR Student Employment Job Board website (via Workday). If no positions are listed under STAMP, that means that we are not currently hiring for any student job positions.
