A group of exceptional student employees was treated to a sumptuous buffet and entertained by student and staff musicians at a reception on May 20. The reception, held at the Bay Tree Conference Center, gave campus employers and administrators the opportunity to express their appreciation to the students and to give them cash awards ranging from $100 to $2,000.
Student employees perform vital functions in offices and departments throughout the campus, including the Academic Senate Office, Bay Tree Bookstore, Cowell Student Health Center, Educational Partnership Center, McHenry Library, and the colleges.
The Student Employee Recognition Awards Program, now in its 14th year, is sponsored by the Career Center. Three hundred student employees were honored this year. To be eligible for nomination for the awards program, students must show outstanding performance as employees and also maintain excellent academic standing.
Barbara Bedford, director of the Career Center, welcomed the group and got the event started. Felicia McGinty, vice chancellor of Student Affairs, introduced Chancellor George Blumenthal who offered his congratulations. Student speakers Konstanty Hordynski and Evelyn Serrano also addressed the gathering.
