The second full week in April is National Student Employment Week. We invite you to start planning how you can celebrate and recognize the talented student employees in your unit and/or division during this week.
To help in recognizing your students we have organized free in-person celebration events. Please feel free to share the following opportunities with your students:
- Monday, April 10th from 7-9pm – Free Trivia Night @ The Sett, Union South
- Tuesday, April 11th from 5-7pm – Free Ice Skating & Pizza @ The Shell
- Wednesday, April 12th 2-3:30pm – Free Professional Headshots @ Elevation Studio, Nicholas Recreation Center
- Wednesday, April 12th from 7-9pm – Free Move Night & Snacks @ Tripp Commons, Memorial Union
- Thursday, April 13th from 8pm-10pm – Free Pool Obstacle Course @ The Soderholm Family Aquatic Center, Nicholas Recreation Center
In addition, we have created a “toolkit” full of ideas and unique ways you can communicate appreciation to your student employees. This includes in-person and virtual gathering ideas, email templates, and unique ways to give individual and team shout-outs. Please feel free to utilize these resources and share with others in your circles. Thank you for recognizing your student employees!
