Cheri Lenz Award

Cheri Lenz was essentially the founding president of MASEA.  She was part of the group that began the forerunner of MASEA and NSEA.  It was originally called the Midwest Association of University Student Employment Directors (MAUSED) and Cherie was president of the group at the time of the first conference on Work and the College Student and on the committee to form a national association in 1975.  After the conference, MAUSED became MASEA and, after a few years of cooperative leadership between the national committee and MASEA, the national association was officially founded as NASEA.

This award is annually given to an individual with at least eight to ten years of service in Student Employment, a long-term leadership record and active membership in MASEA.  Nominations are submitted to the Board of Directors from the general membership.  The Board of Directors votes on this recipient.

Dan Kriedler Newcomer Award

Dan Kriedler was MASEA President in 1989-90.  He was from Governors State University and was an instrumental leader for MASEA and NASEA.  Because Mr. Kriedler began his unique service to MASEA the second day on the job, this award is named in his honor and is presented to a newcomer who has given a unique contribution to MASEA within two years of his/her membership.  Nominations are submitted to the Board of Directors from the general membership.  The Board of Directors votes on this recipient. 

President's Award

The recipient of the President's Award is a member of MASEA who has provided outstanding contributions to MASEA during the President's term of office.  The current President selects the recipient of this award.
