Celebrate National Student Employment Week
Each year, the second week in April marks the celebration of National Student Employment Week. This week is dedicated to recognizing the incredibly important work of student employees as well as their supervisors.
Student employees perform invaluable services with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. Setting aside a special week to draw the awareness of others, both on and off campus, is the perfect opportunity to show your appreciation. To assist, we’ve created three opportunities to help you celebrate.

Submit a nomination for Supervisor of the Year – Submissions are due by March 31 at 4:30 pm: Recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of MSUM supervisors. Student employees and department leaders are encouraged to nominate supervisors who have shown exemplary commitment and initiative in their work supervising student employees.
RSVP for Cookies and Cards – Supervisors are invited to RSVP to pick up cookies and thank you cards to provide to your student employees during National Student Employment Week!
To order the appropriate number of cookies and cards, supervisors are required to RSVP by April 7
We also encourage supervisors to find other meaningful ways to recognize their student employees during this time. Here are a few low and no-cost ideas!
-
Create a Wall of Fame with employee photos, compliments, peer-to-peer/staff-to-student employees notes of thanks, etc…
Post on social media or create a video to share
Have the full-time staff members write personalized notes to the students detailing how they assist them day-to-day and thanking them
Conduct a scavenger hunt
Hold your own office awards ceremony and give out awards for unique categories like best attendance, best computer skills, most organized, best customer service, etc
