National Student Employment Week
Each year, traditionally the second full week in April, student employees at universities and colleges across the country are celebrated for their tremendous contribution, hard work, and dedication to the institutions they serve.
Looking for ways to recognize your student employees? Below are a few suggestions!
Thank you from the Staff
Print off a large banner celebrating your entire student staff and have all of the staff sign it. Post this banner in a common area where your student employees will see it!
“Punny” Treats
Donut: We donut know what we would do without you! Candy: Working with you is sweet. Chips: You're all that and a bag of chips! Mixed nuts: We're nuts about you!
Pizza on the Fly
Order pizza to feed your student staff and they can swing by between 11 am-1 pm for a quick slice. If the student is scheduled to work during this time, arrange for them to take a break and enjoy a slice.
Staff Cookie Bake-Off
Staff members wishing to participate bake enough cookies for all student staff to sample them through the day. Student staff vote on the best cookie. Winners can be announced via email or at a special gathering.
Appreciation Jars
Supervisors set up appreciation jars for each student employee at the beginning of the week. Staff and faculty deposit anonymous compliments to each student. Jars are opened and shared at the end of the week.
Need an Appreciation Certificate?
Let us help! We have created a "Certificate of Appreciation for Student Employees" which can be shared with your student employees during National Student Employment Week.
