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 15th from 1pm-4pm – Free Professional Headshots @ Nicholas Recreation Center
- Tuesday, April 16th from 6:30pm-8pm – Free Trivia Night @ The Sett, Union South (Registration begins at 6pm)
- Wednesday, April 17th 7pm-9pm – Free Bowling, Billiards (pool), and Video Games @ The Sett Recreation, Union South
- Thursday, April 18th from 4:30pm-6pm – Free Ice Skating, Sports Simulators & Pizza @ The Bakke Recreation & Wellbeing 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!
