Job DescriptionJob DescriptionJob Description/Summary

Since 1912, The College of St. Scholastica (CSS) has been preparing students for a life of purpose and meaningful work by emphasizing the Catholic Benedictine values it was founded on. The College serves an enrollment of approximately 4,200 in undergraduate and graduate degree programs throughout three schools—School of Health Professions, School of Arts and Sciences, and Stender School of Leadership, Business and Professional Studies.
