Student Employee of the Year

Submissions Welcome for Outstanding Student Employee Recognition

The Outstanding Student Employee of the Year committee would like to invite you to nominate your outstanding Cal Poly student employees for the 2023-2024 academic year. The purpose of the selection process is to recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of students who work while attending college and contribute daily to the success of our university. One Cal Poly outstanding student employee of the year and two runners up will be selected from the nominations and invited to a special event in their honor. Additionally, the winner’s name will be etched on the perpetual plaque hanging in the Julian A. McPhee University Union, recognizing the outstanding student employee winners each year since 1986.

The committee has simplified the nominating process by requiring a one-page submission letter highlighting the student’s accomplishments. All student employees at Cal Poly are eligible for consideration. Faculty and staff may nominate more than one student. You may find the NACE core competencies fact sheet useful to assist with your submission. Notification of awards will be announced via email to the student and their nominating supervisor on or before May 6.

Recognition letters, preferably on your Cal Poly department letterhead, are due to Administration & Finance af@calpoly.edu by Friday 5/3/24. Questions?  Please contact af@calpoly.edu
