Human Resources encourages departments with student employees to participate in National Student Employment Appreciation Week, April 14-18.
Student Employee Appreciation Week is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the student employees who play a key role in campus operations' success.
One way to give recognition is to send a note of gratitude through Rebel Applause. The platform allows colleagues to show appreciation to each other for demonstrating 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ’s campus values.
Other fun ways to celebrate your student employees include:
Professional Development Workshop: Provide a session focused on job-specific skills to enhance student employee resumes, or create a space for them to discuss their career goals and receive guidance from mentors. No time left this week? Send invitations for an event at a later date.
Shout-Out Board: Set up a board in a common space where staff can write notes of appreciation, sharing what they value most about each student employee’s hard work and dedication; a gesture that can remain on display year-round to show appreciation for student employees.
Social Media Spotlights: Showcase your student employees on social media with a post recognizing their contributions and impact within your department. Just make sure you ask them first!
If you participate, please share any pictures or stories of how you celebrated your student employees with Student Employment Specialist Travis Kalusa.
