2022-2023 Student Employee of the Year
Nominations are now closed!
This year, the University of Wisconsin-Madison Student Employment team will host the fifth annual competition for Student Employee of the Year.
Each year, the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) hosts the competition for the Student Employee of the Year. This year the process will be a little different than past years. This years process will begin with campuses choosing one Student Employee of the Year winner for each of five categories (see categories below). From the winners of the five categories, one will then be selected to be submitted to NSEA for consideration.
The UW-Madison Student Employment Team will convene a selection committee from supervisors of students and other student-employment stakeholders across campus to choose the winners.
Scholarships will be awarded to the top Student Employee in each Category!
Deadline: November 8th, 2022
Eligibility
- Nominees must be a UW-Madison student in a Student Help or Graduate Assistant position at UW-Madison or at one of our Federal Work-Study partners.
