We deeply value the contributions of our student employees and their supervisors, and it is important to us that their efforts are properly recognized!
Every year, the Midwest Association for Student Employment Administrators (MASEA) and the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) designate the second full week of April as National Student Employment Week. This initiative serves to raise awareness and celebrate the hardworking students who balance their academic responsibilities with part-time employment. These students provide essential support to their departments and the university, demonstrating remarkable enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. National Student Employment Week is also an opportunity to acknowledge the supervisors who play a crucial role in shaping the student employment experience, offering guidance, training, and professional development that help students prepare for successful careers.
