The second full week in April is National Student Employment Week. We invite supervisors and/or employers of student employees 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:
- Tuesday, April 14th 7:00pm-9:00pm – Free Trivia Night & Snacks @ The Sett, Union South (Registration begins at 6:30pm)
- Wednesday, April 15th 9:30am-2:30pm – Free Professional Headshots @ Nicholas Recreation Center

- Thursday, April 16th 6:30pm-7:30pm – Free Ice Skating & 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!
