 2022 Nomination Details

• NSEA Student Employee of the Year Information

  Each spring, the  National Student Employment Administration (NSEA)  coordinates a Student Employee of the Year selection process in conjunction with NSEA’s regional affiliates.  The purpose of the selection process is to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while attending college.   The National Student Employment Association has declared that the second complete week in April each year be set aside to recognize the value of student employees and student employment professionals.

  The process begins at the institution level.  Supervisors have the ability to nominate outstanding student employees to be considered as their Student Employee of the Year.  Once selected, any institution who is a current member of one of NSEA may nominate their Student Employee of the Year for  national consideration. Any current, paid undergraduate student employee is eligible for this award. 

• NSEA Supervisor of the Year Information

  The Supervisor of the Year program begins at an institutional level and progresses to the Regional level.  This award was established to recognize the integral part that the supervisor plays in the education of a student employee.  Supervisors act as mentors and provide education to their students that they cannot gain through the classroom.  Students at colleges and universities across the region are asked to nominate supervisors who they feel are especially worthy of recognition (modified from the  NEASEA website).
