National Student Employee Appreciation Week takes place every year during the second full week of April. This week is an opportunity for institutions to recognize student’s employees for their vital contributions.
At UK, more than 5,000 students work on campus and play a key role in the success of daily operations. UK Human Resources has partnered with the Office of Student Success in sponsoring Student Employee Appreciation Week events. We hope student employees will join us to celebrate their hard work and dedication.
