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.
2022/2023 timeline
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 2022/2023 nomination forms will open February 13.
- Nominations will be collected through March 24 at midnight.
Selection and presentation of the awards
- Winners will be selected and surprised at work with the presentation of the award by the end of the Spring 2023 semester.
- All nominees will receive a certificate of nomination following the presentation of the award.

Congratulations to Rebecca Trujillo with Transfer & Online Connections for being selected as this year’s Supervisor of the Year!
Rebecca mentioned that one of her favorite aspects of working with the Jacks Online mentors is their virtual staff meetings. The team shares many moments of fun and laughing together, as well as sincere and genuine concerns or feelings to continue supporting each other, as they grow both as a team and as individuals. Rebecca values how open and honest her mentors are, and appreciates how they inspire her to find ways to support and highlight the dedicated work they produce.
We also wanted to highlight some of the wonderful things that Rebecca’s student employees had to say about her, both on the Transfer & Online Connections blog and below.
