Student employee appreciation week
The National Student Employment Association designates one week each year for universities and colleges across the country to recognize the substantial contributions of students who work on campus.
Student Employee Appreciation Week will be taking place this year from April 10-14. The dedication and knowledge that our student employees bring to UAF helps our university grow and thrive. Our student employees perform invaluable services with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. I know many of us have one or multiple student workers who we very much appreciate and who deserve to be recognized and celebrated!
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, Career Services has teamed up with the Center for Student Engagement to organize two different events to help celebrate our student employees during the week of April 10-14. One of these events is specifically for student employees and the other is for their supervisors!
