The National Student Employment Association has declared that the second full week in April each year (April 12-18, 2026) be set aside to recognize the value of student employees and student employment professionals. 

Student Employees: Career Services would like to say THANK YOU for all you do to make a positive impact across campus and help make NMU such a great place!

Supervisors: The purpose of this week is to enhance awareness of student employment and its important role in the higher education experience, to recognize students who perform outstanding work while attending college, and to thank the employer, who hires students for part-time positions. Students gain tremendous benefits from their work experiences while in school, and the skills they develop help them achieve success after college and beyond. For that, we thank you! We hope you will join Career Services in recognizing and thanking NMU student employees for the hard work they provide on campus and in the community. For more information and ideas to thank student employees, visit https://nmu.edu/careerservices/national-student-employment-week-employers
