A variety of jobs are also offered around Harding that are less known to students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many campus jobs are through different departments, but applicants are not limited to students within that department; students of any major can apply for these positions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Communication offers several jobs for students, including working with Student Publications, KVHU radio station or HU16, the broadcast station that covers sports and events around campus, as well as Live at Five, a five-day weekly 30-minute news broadcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior Ella Brumley joined the Live at Five staff as a reporter last semester and is an anchor this semester. Brumley, a political science and public administration major, said she took a couple of journalism classes as electives, where she learned about HU16. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey were looking for people, and I was like \u2018I can do it if y\u2019all need someone,\u2019 just kind of trying something new because I thought it would be interesting,\u201d Brumley said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another lesser-known student job is working for the sports information office. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sophomore Tyler Hill has worked for sports information for two years, working at many football, soccer, basketball and baseball games. The students work a variety of jobs during the home games, including updating the sports social media accounts and recording plays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor example, at football games this year, I just did Twitter updates,\u201d Hill said. \u201cAnd there\u2019s a bunch of different other things they have us do.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hill said that this semester, his job is to record highlights during basketball games to use for replays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For students looking for a more artistic opportunity, there are still many jobs available on campus for them to use their creative talents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Junior Maddie Canterbury has worked in Harding\u2019s costume shop for three years. The costume shop designs and builds costumes for the Homecoming musical, Spring Sing and all of the other theatre productions throughout the year. The costume shop\u2019s most recent project was creating the dresses for \u201cThe Importance of Being Earnest\u201d from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Canterbury said one of her favorite memories from working in the costume shop was creating the dresses for \u201cAnother Day of Sun\u201d in last year\u2019s Spring Sing show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful thing to be able to see something that you put 50, 60, 100 hours into come to fruition and go on stage,\u201d Canterbury said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Kenzie James \/\/ Photo by Macy Cox Plenty of on-campus jobs are well-known to students, whether it be working at the desk in the Watson Center, one of&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15068,"featured_media":19408,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19407","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-features"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15068"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19407"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19407\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19409,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19407\/revisions\/19409"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19408"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19407"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thelink.harding.edu\/the-bison\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
