About UpperClass
UpperClass is helping institutions activate the most trusted voices on campus: students and creators.
We enable universities, colleges, and education organizations to build structured student creator programs that generate authentic content, strengthen community engagement, and help future students discover institutions through the people they trust most.
As part of this mission, we are building a global network of Student Creators — authentic student storytellers who turn their everyday campus experiences into professional digital portfolios while helping brands and universities drive genuine engagement.
About the Role
We are seeking enthusiastic and authentic student storytellers to join UpperClass as Student Creators.
As a Student Creator, you will turn your everyday university life—the late-night study sessions, campus hacks, and academic wins—into high-value digital content. You will act as the primary source of truth for your campus, helping universities and global brands share honest, raw, and authentic perspectives with the world.
This is a fully flexible, task-based opportunity designed to fit around your GPA, providing competitive compensation while scaling your professional digital footprint and building your personal brand.

Content Creation & Campus Coverage
Produce engaging short-form content (TikTok, Reels, etc.) capturing the real, unpolished student experience.
Participate in active brand and university campaigns that align with your personal values.
Turn everyday campus moments into compelling visual stories that resonate with peers and prospective students.
Act as a bridge for prospective and international students by showcasing the real-time campus reality to reduce enrollment uncertainty.
