Student Employee Appreciation Week

About the Week - April 14-18, 2025

National Student Employee Appreciation Week is observed annually, typically in the second full week of April, as an opportunity to express extra gratitude for the impact student employees have on campuses nationwide.

The Office of Human Resources has collaborated with over a dozen departments to plan events, to coordinate a cross-departmental social media campaign, to offer scholarships throughout the week, and more, and we hope you will join us in showing your appreciation for UHD's determined and dedicated student employees!

Getting Involved

Here are a few ways you and your department can get involved with the celebrations for the week:

1. Nominate a Student for a Scholarship
   • Nominate an outstanding student employee for a SEAW scholarship! Celebrate their hard work and dedication with this well-deserved opportunity.
     • Nominations may be submitted through the SEAW Scholarship Nomination Form, and will be accepted until 5:00p.m. on Friday, April 4, 2025. A scholarship adjudication committee will review redacted materials, select winners, and announce recipients shortly after a decision has been made.
2. Create a Poster
   • Create an appreciation poster and participate in the SEAW social media campaign by using the hashtag #UHDSEAW. We have plenty of posters in the Office of Human Resources if you’d like to create a sign to show appreciation for your student employees!
3. Attend Events or Volunteer
   • Attend and/or volunteer at the events throughout the week, and encourage your student employees to attend these events as well!
4. Plan a Celebration
   • Consider planning a department-specific celebration for the student employees you work with.
