Call for Student Employee of the Year Award Nominations

In honor of National Student Employment Week 2021, students, staff and faculty are invited to nominate student employees who have displayed exceptional work, initiative, professionalism and more. Nominations are open to undergraduate, graduate and student employee supervisors for both Federal Work-Study and Non-Federal Work-Study positions. Additional requirements are shared within each form.

“In a typical year, there are approximately 6,500 student employees in a variety of roles from Food Services, Bird Library, Barnes Center at The Arch and more. These jobs not only provide financial assistance, but also the opportunity to grow professional skills and competencies that will assist students throughout their professional careers,” shared the ’Cuse Works team. “With the recent launch of ’Cuse Works, we have the opportunity to implement improvements that serve to enhance the student experience in a variety of ways. One recent enhancement is the reintroduction of the Student Employee of the Year celebration and further recognizing the hard work and dedication of our student employees and supervisors, while providing events to learn more about becoming and being a student employee.”
