Student Employment awards

Each spring, NAU recognizes outstanding undergraduate student employees and their supervisors. One student employee, one student employee team, and one student employee supervisor are chosen by an anonymous staff and student committee from nominations submitted by student employees’ supervisors and colleagues.

Winners are presented with awards and honored on our website. All nominees receive an acknowledgement honoring their nominations.

2025/2026 timeline Accordion Closed

Student employees who have accumulated at least one semester of work within your office or department are eligible to receive this award. Nomination criteria are based on the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) Career Readiness Competencies, which are incorporated into student employee performance appraisals at NAU.

  • The 2025/2026 nomination forms will open February 16.
    • Anyone can nominate a student employee, a team, or a supervisor! Self-nominations are also welcomed and accepted.
  • Nominations will be collected through March 20.
    • All nominations will be reviewed using a consistent matrix and rubric by a committee of student employee supervisors and student employees chosen by the Career Development office and winners will be announced and awards distributed by the week of April 20.
    • Interested in being a nomination reviewer? Contact StudentEmployment@nau.edu.
