UNM again joins col­leges and uni­ver­si­ties across the coun­try to rec­og­nize the stu­dent work­force dur­ing National Stu­dent Employ­ment Week, April 7 — 13. Accord­ing to the National Stu­dent Employ­ment Asso­ci­a­tion, cam­pus jobs pro­vide career-enhancing oppor­tu­ni­ties to bet­ter pre­pare stu­dents for the world of work upon graduation.

Stu­dents employed through the Stu­dent Employ­ment Office are eli­gi­ble to be nom­i­nated for the annual Stu­dent Employee of the Year award and to par­tic­i­pate in the National Stu­dent Employ­ment Week fes­tiv­i­ties spon­sored by UNM’s Grad­u­a­tion Task Force Stu­dent Engage­ment Committee.

Stu­dents will be judged on qual­ity of work, ini­tia­tive, reli­a­bil­ity, and pro­fes­sion­al­ism, unique­ness of con­tri­bu­tion, com­mu­nity and cam­pus ser­vice. Nom­i­na­tions are due for the UNM Stu­dent Employee of the Year award by Fri­day, Feb. 1 at 5 p.m. Sub­mit nom­i­na­tions by email to ldelgado@unm.edu.
