Each year during the full second week of April, colleges and universities across the country recognize the importance of the student work experience during National Student Employment Week. Student employment offers students career-enhancing opportunities, the ability to develop skills relevant in any career, and better preparation for the job market upon graduation.
Here at Towson University, student employees perform invaluable services with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. We greatly depend on the contributions of this reliable workforce for the efficient operation of the entire campus.
It is only appropriate to set aside a special week to draw the awareness of others, both on campus and off, to the contributions student workers make in the multitude of roles they fill. By celebrating this week, you will reap the incidental benefits of increasing awareness of the service you and your students provide as well as and providing an open forum for discussion of student employment and career-related issues.
This year, National Student Employment Week will be observed April 9th ? 15th ! Events and activities will include:
? The National Student Employment Week Banner Contest
? Professional development workshops for student employees and student employee supervisors
? Daily giveaways to student employees from area attractions, shops and restaurants including: American Visionary Art Museum, Charm City Yoga, Five Guys, Towson Town Center, Quiznos and more!
Plus, you can now submit your nominations for ?The Career Center Student Employee of the Year Award? up until Friday, April 6th at {https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDVNdzZwRlRlOVIxd19sU2dVWmhmemc6MQQ} .
