2011-2012 Student Employee of the Year Nomination
Do you have a student working for you that you would like to recognize for their exceptional contribution to your department? Student Employment is currently excepting nominations for the Student Employee of the Year for the 2011-2012 academic year. In order to be eligible the student must have completed, or expect to complete, at least one semester of student employment in the nominating department during this fiscal year (July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012). The nomination form can be submitted via fax to 784-1073 or sent to campus mail stop 0238. Deadline for submission is February 29, 2012. The Finalist will be chosen by a committee after the submission deadline.
As of March 1, 2011, UNR Human Resources and Career Navigator split the responsibilities of online job boards for students. Career Navigator will still handle all part- and full-time off-campus jobs. All on-campus student jobs, however, will be posted on e-Search after March 1st and handled by UNR HR. For information on how to post an open student position to the e-Search system see the E-Search Student Posting Instructions document posted in the HR Liaison page and the Student Employment Supervisor page.
With this change job board numbers are no longer required for student positions. You will only need to post a student position to e-Search when you need to find a student to fill a position. If you already have a student for a position you will not post a position in e-Search just for a job board number, you will complete the new hire paperwork and send the hiring packet to HR.
General Information
Student employment is intended to be a learning experience that complements a student’s academic and career goals and provides valuable work experience. By working part-time, students are able to earn money to help pay their college costs. Additionally, student employees are a valuable asset to help meet the staffing needs of the University.
- For students new to the University, working on campus helps develop a sense of community and belonging. Students who feel they are a part of their university tend to do better scholastically.
- Students with little or no employment history may establish a work record and learn the fundamental skills of employment such as punctuality, communication, cooperation, and time management.
- Students gain preparation for the world of work through processes of interviewing, hiring, training, supervision, relating to coworkers and the public, meeting expectations, and achievement of goals.
- Students have opportunities to sample several career choices through varied work experiences.
- Students with defined career objectives gain related experience that enriches their educational program. Students with otherwise limited exposure and opportunity for networking may also make valuable contacts with professionals in their chosen fields.
- A student employee is a part-time hourly employee who is also enrolled in the minimum required courses and has the minimum required cumulative grade point average at the University of Nevada, Reno for the primary purpose of achieving a degree.
