Student Employee of the Year
Each spring, the National Student Employment Administration (NSEA) coordinates a Student Employee of the Year selection process. The purpose of the selection process is to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while attending college.
The process begins at the institution level. Supervisors have the ability to nominate outstanding student employees to be considered as their Student Employee of the Year. Supervisors nominate their students in one of five categories: community service, diversity and inclusion, leadership, technology and innovation, and critical thinking. Institutions will choose their winner by using the point scale outlined by NSEA.
Students must be undergraduates and currently enrolled at the nominating institution. Stipend positions will not be considered.
Institutions will then submit their winner to NEASEA for regional Student Employee of the Year. The SEOTY committee will select a regional winner.
Members of NSEA will need to submit their winner to be considered for national Student Employee of the Year.
NEASEA provides the NEASEA Student Employment Recognition Handbook to our members. The handbook is a step-by-step guide on how to conduct successful Student Employment Recognition programs and is available to download from the Member area of the NEASEA website.

Supervisor of the Year Program
The Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA) conducts a selection process to choose an outstanding supervisor whom the organization recognizes as the NEASEA Supervisor of the Year. The goal of the program is to provide student employee Supervisors with the recognition they so fully deserve. Supervisor of the Year Information and Nomination materials will soon be available on the NEASEA website.
2009 marked the Inaugural Year of the Supervisor of the Year Program for NEASEA. The program begins at an institutional level and progresses to the Regional level. This award was established to recognize the integral the student supervisor plays in the education of a student employee. Student supervisors act as mentors and provide education to their students that they cannot gain through the classroom. Students at colleges and universities across the region are asked to nominate supervisors who they feel are especially worthy of recognition.
The selection process begins in January at the college/university level and is completed by April at the regional level. Many schools combine the results of their campus level selection process with other events surrounding National Student Employment Week.
It is suggested that the student employment administrators distribute nomination materials to student employees in mid-January. The deadline for campus selections to be transmitted to the Supervisor of the Year (SOTY) Chair is March 3rd. The deadline is strictly adhered to by NEASEA for inclusion in the regional selection process. No exceptions will be made.
