Each spring, the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) coordinates a National Student Employee of the Year program to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while attending college. 

The process begins at the institutional level.  Supervisors may nominate an outstanding employee for their institutions student employee of the year.   Then, any institution who is a member of MASEA and/or NSEA may submit their student employee of the year for State, Regional and National consideration. 

All students employed through the Student Employment Program of institutions with at least one member of MASEA and/or NSEA.  This may include students working off campus in community service or tutoring programs at the institution’s discretion.  Resident Advisors, Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants are not eligible, unless they are employed through the Student Employment Program.

Students must have been employed for a minimum of 3 months full-time or 6 months part-time between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012 (anticipated). 

Students will be evaluated on the following qualities:

1. Reliability
2. Quality of Work
3. Initiative
4. Professionalism
5. Uniqueness of Contribution
   (In case of a tie, uniqueness of contribution will be the deciding factor.)
