Nomination Countdown

Five more days left to nominate an exceptional University of Denver student for the Student Employee of the Year contest. The winner will receive a personalized DU hockey jersey, recognition at our annual ice cream social, and the chance to compete in a national contest that carries a $1,000 reward.

Thank you to participants in today's Nomination Writing Workshop, held in partnership with the DU Writing Center. For nominators who couldn't make it to workshop, here are a few tips from the Writing Center's Eliana Schonberg and Geoffrey Bateman:
  • Think about why you are nominating this student. What sets him or her apart from present and past co-workers and peers?
  • Generate a list of specific examples that illustrate why this employee deserves recognition.
  • Explain how this employee has made your life easier.
  • Review the attributes of past Student Employee of the Year winners (here and here). 
Nomination forms for the competition can be accessed here and should be sent to stuemp@du.edu by Feb. 15. DU staff and faculty can schedule an individual appointment at the Writing Center for guidance during the nomination writing process.
