In conjunction with the National Student Employment Association (NSEA) and the Northeast Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA), Keuka College annually celebrates National Student Employment Week during the second full week in April.

Because the work-study student employees at Keuka are vital to the daily operation of our institution, we use this week to recognize and show our appreciation for their hard work and contributions.

Student employees are an integral part of our community and showing them they are appreciated, is a nice gesture and the least we can do. Many departments say “Thank You” to student employees in unique ways. In the past, departments/divisions have celebrated this week by:

• Having a pizza party/luncheon
• A bouquet of balloons or flowers
• A bag of goodies (candies, snacks, cookies, etc.)
• Having the department head send “Thank You” letters
• Make your own ice cream sundae party
• Take your students, to a movie, go-­cart racing, etc
• Other ideas you may deem appropriate

The upcoming National Student Employment Weeks (tentative) are as follows:

• April 11-­17, 2010
• April 10-­16, 2011
• April   8-­14, 2012
