Student Employee of the Year

Nominations Are Closed for Harvard's 2023 Student Employee of the Year!

The Harvard Student Employment Office is happy to announce the return of the Harvard Student Employee of the Year Recognition Program (SEOTY). This program provides our campus with a wonderful opportunity to recognize and reward the vital work that our student employees perform both on and off campus, in a variety of different roles.

How the Program Works

Employee of the yearSupervisors for both on and off campus agencies can nominate student employees who they feel deserve recognition for their job performance. Nominations are judged based on the following 8 NACE Core Competencies: critical thinking/problem solving, oral/written communications, teamwork/collaboration, digital technology, leadership, professionalism/work ethic, career management, and global/intercultural fluency.

One student is chosen by a selection committee as Harvard's Undergraduate Student Employee of the Year, and one student is chosen by a selection committee as Harvard's Graduate Student Employee of the Year. The SEOTY winners are announced in mid April during our National Student Employment Week Awards Ceremony
