This week is specifically designated to recognize and appreciate the value of student employees and their contributions as young professionals on our campus.
For many students, the employment opportunities at UMass Lowell are the first step in their career. They come to these roles ready to assist in University operations, help their fellow classmates, make connections and gain new skills and knowledge that creates the foundation for their career readiness. We see the effort, growth, and value that our students bring to these roles year after year, and we are proud to witness everything they accomplish as a River Hawk.
Please join us in expressing our sincerest gratitude and appreciation for our student employees!
Below are some budget conscious ways you can acknowledge your student staff members during Student Employment Appreciation Week this April, and throughout the year. Be sure to tailor these ideas to match the spirit of your office!
- Write thank you notes to your students and have all office staff contribute a personal message
- Dedicate a post to your student(s) on your department’s social media page
- Coffee or tea and a tasty treat
- Goodie bags with fidget items, pens and pencils
- Cookies or salty snacks to share
- Decorate the students’ workspace
Please share any photos or videos of your celebrations with the Student Employment Office for use on our website and social media page by emailing Juliana_Gildea@uml.edu.
As always, THANK YOU Supervisors, for hiring students for part-time positions and making the Student Employment program such a thriving success.
