Individuals, including students, can apply to be cashiers, cooks, sous chefs, or dishwashers.
"This is the best place to work on campus for students. We're really flexible in our department with your schedule and hours," said Gardipee.
Some new hires will get the chance to work at the new Lodge Dining Center which is set to open for the fall semester on August 19, 2024.
The bi-level building will feature a Mongolian station, a pizza oven, space for over 900 people to eat, plus many tributes to Montana throughout the building itself and through use of local ingredients.
Gardipee also added that staff get tuition waivers to attend school at UM.
"If you're a full-time employee, you get up to six credits per semester and then you also get a discount for anyone in your immediate family. So, that's really great in getting people that education to further their lives."
