Student Employee of the Year
The National Student Employment Association (NSEA) coordinates the annual National Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) program in collaboration with MASEA and our member institutions. The intent of this award is to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while pursuing higher education.
The process begins at the institutional level. Supervisors may nominate an outstanding employee for recognition as their institutions’ student employee of the year. Then, any institution who is a member of MASEA may submit their selected student employee of the year for State and Regional consideration. If the Regional winner is from an institution that is also an NSEA member, the student will be moved forward for National consideration, as well.
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 NSEA, as well as MASEA, in order to be submitted to NSEA as the MASEA regional winner or runner ups.
Selection Criteria
Students will be evaluated on their contributions to the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Competencies for Career Readiness as well as overall commitment to their employment opportunity.
