Brown University Careers

The Division of Pre‑College and Undergraduate Programs is dedicated to ensuring a supportive, challenging, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate living and learning environment for the approximately 6,000 pre‑college students who hail from all 50 states in the U.S. and over 70 countries. Brown University’s Pre‑College Programs offer high school students (13‑18 years old) an opportunity to study a wide range of liberal arts subjects that reflect the breadth of Brown's undergraduate Open Curriculum while strengthening their connection to a robust community of peer scholars from around the world.

Students develop personal and social skills that are critical to success in the college setting and get a feel for what college life is like—the responsibility, the freedom, and the new friendships. Students enroll in programs with courses that vary in length and are offered both on‑campus and online. More information about the programs can be found wn.edu.

Student Life Managers serve as vital members of the Pre‑College Student Life leadership team within the Division of Pre‑College and Undergraduate Programs.

They will also receive an auxiliary assignment supporting either Residence Education, Student Learning and Development, or Housing Operations based on interest, experience and program needs.
