Volunteers

Volunteers are often used to supplement staff and faculty for projects or special events. While they are not paid, they are still part of the 菠菜网lol正规平台 workforce and processes must be followed to bring one on board. They may not perform bargaining unit work and may not be appointed for longer than one year.

San José State University (菠菜网lol正规平台) hosts Visiting Scholars (domestic or international) to engage in the exchange of knowledge, promotion of intercultural understanding, and for the mutual enrichment with our global partnership institutions. Please visit our Visiting Scholars page to learn more.
