Student Employee of the Year
This year, the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) will coordinate the annual National Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) program independently from the MASEA SEOTY process. If you want to nominate a student for the National Student Employee of the year, your nominating institution must be a current member of NSEA. You can learn more about the eligibility and how to nominate for NSEA SEOTY on their website.
The Midwest Association of Student Employment Administrators (MASEA) will conduct a separate process so MASEA members can recognize and celebrate their outstanding student employees. The intent of this award is to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while pursuing higher education.
Process:
This year instead of recognizing state winners and a regional winner, there will be five categories and two students (winner and runner-up) will be selected from each category. The process will begin by each institution conducting their process. Then, any institution who is a member of MASEA may submit their SEOTY to one of the categories listed below. Only one submission from each school will be accepted. A committee of MASEA volunteers will then read nominations and select a winner and runner-up for each category.
Eligible Students:
All undergraduate student employees at institutions with at least one MASEA member are eligible. Graduate Assistants and Teaching Assistants are ineligible. Nominees are not restricted to students employed through the Federal Work-Study program. Nominees must be an employee at an institution that is a member of MASEA.
Selection Criteria
Students will be evaluated on their contributions in the category they are nominated to by using the criteria in the rubrics listed below.
