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, crafting, resume review, bowling, billiards, trivia, and ice skating offered throughout the week. The week was very successful seeing more than 650 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 six categories: Leadership, Information/Technology, Diversity, Community Service, Critical Thinking, and Graduate Student. From the nominations a winner is chosen for each category and receives a scholarship. This year there were 75 nominees! 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. Congratulations to all the nominees as well as winners and thank you to all student employees and supervisors for all their hard work and dedication to DEM and UW–Madison!
