Job Description
Zapara School of Business (ZSB) at La Sierra University is a dynamic academic institution dedicated to providing exceptional business education and fostering a collaborative learning environment. The school offers a variety of programs designed to equip students with the skills and experience necessary to excel in today’s competitive business landscape. ZSB actively engages with students, faculty, and the broader community, hosting numerous events throughout the academic year that promote professional development, networking, and practical skill-building.
We are currently seeking motivated and detail-oriented Student Event Coordinators to join our team. This role is an integral part of the event management process at ZSB, focused on supporting the planning, coordination, and execution of a wide range of internal and external events. These events typically take place in key locations such as the Troesh Conference Center, Atrium, Rotunda, and other designated areas within or around the Zapara School of Business facility. The employment is on a quarterly basis and an opportunity for renewal is available pending successful performance. The role comes with a competitive wage range between $17.10 and $17.50 per hour, making it an attractive position for students seeking practical work experience alongside their studies.
Student Event Coordinators are responsible for a variety of tasks that ensure each event runs smoothly from start to finish. This involves extensive interaction with multiple stakeholders including internal departments, external guests, vendors, and campus partners. The position demands excellent customer service skills and a hands-on approach to managing the physical setup, execution, and breakdown of events. You will play a critical role in preparing venues, handling equipment, coordinating with vendors, troubleshooting event issues on-site, and ensuring all event spaces are properly secured and restored after each event.
The ideal candidate will be comfortable with physical tasks such as lifting up to 50 pounds, bending, kneeling, as well as walking and standing for extended periods. This role requires strong communication and organizational skills to manage multiple tasks efficiently while adapting to shifting priorities. Familiarity with Google Suite and social media platforms is beneficial, and previous experience in event planning or office administration is a plus. As a student coordinator, you will have the opportunity not only to develop valuable professional skills but also to actively contribute to the vibrant campus life at La Sierra University.
