The College of Arts and Sciences honored 49 students who work for the CAS Dean’s Office for National Student Employment Week. In order to recognize them individually, the students’ names, photos and a brief explanation of their service were displayed on posters outside the Dean's Office on 2nd floor Friedmann Hall.

“It is fitting that we stop and recognize the work our students do for the college,” said Hearit. “They give us hundreds of hours of work each week, which is a major contribution to our operations. We are grateful for their work and the positive attitudes and dispositions they bring. It’s truly delightful working with them!”

WMU Career and Student Employment Services hosts Student Employee Appreciation Week every February. The week recognizes all the hard work and contributions student employees make to Western Michigan University. The week also showcases the Student Employee and the Student Supervisor of the Year at a reception held on Thursday, February 25.

Student employees work in most campus departments. Their work ranges from cashiers to graduate assistants. WMU employs approximately 3,500 students during the fall/spring semesters. Campus student employment allows students to build skills, explore career options, and make meaningful contributions to the university and community. 

Student supervisors play a key role in hiring, training, reviewing and modeling key skills and behaviors that foster the development of skilled, competent student employees.
