2024 National Student Employment Week Recap
During the second full week of April each year, National Student Employment Appreciation Week is celebrated at colleges and universities across the nation. This year the Student Employment team in the Office of Student Financial Aid led a centrally coordinated effort to celebrate all UW–Madison student employees. There were free events such as headshots, bowling, billiards, trivia, ice skating, and sports simulators offered throughout the week. The week was very successful seeing more than 400 student employees in attendance!
In addition to the free events offered, UW–Madison also holds a Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) Banquet to recognize the individuals that were nominated for Student Employee of the Year and Supervisor of the Year. Each student employee is nominated by someone in their department for one of five categories: Leadership, Information/Technology, Diversity, Community Service, and Critical Thinking. From the nominations a winner is chosen for each category and receives a scholarship. This year there were 90 nominees and the winner for the Leadership category, Mi Levy, is from the Division of Enrollment Management in the Office of Student Financial Aid! Aside from the SEOTY competition, there is also the Supervisor of the Year which recognizes a full time employee that supervises students. Nominations highlight individuals qualities in mentoring, professionalism, and advocacy. The winner for Supervisor of the Year, Jen Le, is from the Division of Enrollment Management in the Office of Student Financial Aid! Congratulations to Mi, Jen, and all of the other nominees and thank you to all student employees and supervisors for all their hard work and dedication to DEM and UW–Madison!
