Student Employee of the Year

The Office of Student Employment seeks nominations from on-campus employers each Fall for the university "Student Employee of the Year" award. A committee of approximately five staff members selects the yearly winner from among the nominees. The award is based on the student's reliability, quality of work, initiative, professionalism, uniqueness of contribution and an essay addressing their student work experience.

Students must meet the following criteria:

• Undergraduate or graduate student employed on campus
• Student must be employed for a minimum of 3 months full-time or 6 months part-time during the nomination period June 1 through May 31.

The name of the recipient from The University of Montana is then entered in the state, regional and national competitions. A reception and award ceremony is held each year during National Student Employment Week, the second full week in April.
