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 (April 7-13). 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. It is only appropriate to set aside a special week to draw the awareness of others, both on campus and off.
