2021 Celebration: April 12-16
Universities across the country recognize the importance of student employees by setting aside a week of acknowledgement. Student Employee Appreciation Week increases awareness of those students who work for the institution, and helps these employees understand the impact of their essential contributions. This event helps employers maximize awareness of the service that students provide to the community, and the campus increases participation and discussion of student employment and career-related issues.
