Monday, April 11, 2016
A total of 127 students were nominated for student employee of the year for 2016 by Oklahoma State University campus departments and Stillwater businesses. Each nominee will be recognized on stage and given a plaque at the Student Employee of the Year Ceremony on April 14, which is held as part of National Student Employment Week. The event is set for 3 p.m. at the Wes Watkins Center Exhibit Hall.
The top five finalists will receive gift baskets worth up to $250 from donations provided by campus departments and local businesses. The student selected as the student employee of the year will also receive a gift basket as well as a $1,000 scholarship. Along with student employee of the year, the ceremony will honor the employer of the year and present two U.S. Food scholarship winners.
