About the Week
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 departments can get involved with the celebrations for the week:
- Consider nominating an exceptional student employee for one of two inaugural SEAW
scholarships, generously donated by the Office of Human Resources and Kim Thomas,
UHD’s Vice President for Administration & Finance.
- Nominations may be submitted through the SEAW Scholarship Nomination Form, and will be accepted until 5:00p.m. on Friday, March 29. A scholarship adjudication
committee will review redacted materials, select winners, and announce recipients
shortly after a decision has been made.
- Nominations may be submitted through the SEAW Scholarship Nomination Form, and will be accepted until 5:00p.m. on Friday, March 29. A scholarship adjudication
committee will review redacted materials, select winners, and announce recipients
shortly after a decision has been made.
- Create an appreciation poster and participate in the SEAW social media campaign by
using the hashtag #UHDStudentEmployeeAppreciationWeek. 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!
- Attend and/or volunteer at the events throughout the week, and encourage your student
employees to attend these events as well!
- Consider planning a department-specific celebration for the student employees you work with.
Swag Bags
The Office of Human Resources is preparing a swag bag for all of UHD's student employees. Student employees may collect their swag bag at any of the Student Employee Appreciation Week events. The Office of Human Resources will deliver swag bags to UHD Northwest student employees and any other student employees who are unable to attend Student Employee Appreciation Week events.
