Nominations are now being accepted for Undergraduate and Graduate Student Employee of the Year. Please help us celebrate another successful program this year. If you have a student who goes above and beyond in the performance of their job, consider submitting a nomination- it’s a great way to show your appreciation for all of your student’s hard work!

This year student nominations will be ranked in one of four categories: Community Service, Leadership, Innovation and Technology, or Critical Thinking. Nominators will be asked to select a category the nominee excels in most and draft a nomination letter.

Nomination letters should describe the student’s duties and accomplishments that you feel qualify them for the award and touch upon the following points:

  • The nominee’s greatest attributes, as they relate to the job.
  • How the nominee has gone above and beyond the standard work expectations.
  • The quality of the nominee’s work and work style.
  • The nominee’s leadership skills, initiative, and motivation.
  • The impact the nominee has had on your department, campus, and community.
  • The qualities of the nominee that set them apart from other student employees.
  • Help your nomination stand out from the pack- personal anecdotes of your interactions with the student are always welcome!

Tell us a story and be as comprehensive as possible to give your student the best chance to win!

Nomination letters should be uploaded as part of filling out the nomination form.

The students chosen as the Undergraduate and Graduate Student Employees of the Year, along with all nominated students and their supervisors, will be honored at a celebration in April.

Nominations are due by March 27, 2025.
