National Student Employment Week April 9-13
Monday, April 9, 2012, 08:00 AM
CSU Campus

National Student Employment Week is celebrated across the nation during the first part of April.

Honor your student employees. As a part of this week, Student Employment Services encourages campus employers to recognize the work done by their student employees.

Employers honor their student employees during this time in many ways:

• taking the student employee out to lunch or coffee
• luncheons or department banquets
• certificates
• thank you letters

The 2012 CSU Student Employee of the Year, Tamla Blunt, is pictured above. Students may register to win prizes during the week of April 9-13, they may register on RAMweb for prizes donated by local employers.

More student employee recognition ideas

• Treat Day - full-time staff bring in treats for student workers or take students out for an ice cream cone, coffee, or snack
• Letters of Appreciation or Letters of Reference Take photos - post student worker photos on the department bulletin board along with what great things they do for your department
• Coupon booklets - design coupons for free soda, home-baked goodies, etc.
• Notes home - send a note home to the families of your student workers to tell them how much they are appreciated, what they do, and how terrific they are
• Certificates - buy or make low cost certificates and make up serious or silly awards and present them to your student employees
• Friendship plants - take cuttings from an office plant and give to each student employee as a "live" connection to the office Office decoration
• Make a banner or signs to hang in the office during National Student Employment Week, or decorate with a fun theme
• Office pot luck meal - host an office pot luck with the student employees as guests of honor
