Shout-Outs for Student Employees!
It is always important to appreciate our student employees, and this unique semester brings on even more of a reason to show our students how much we value them and their contributions to our Mizzou community. If you have a student employee you would like to showcase, we want to hear from you!
It is easy to get started! Just click on the submission link: https://tinyurl.com/employeeshoutout
- You will be asked to share contact information and no more than two sentences of why you want to recognize your student employee. Think concise and meaningful.
- The student employees will be contacted letting them know of the submissions and will be asked to submit photos to be showcased on social media.
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis and a few students will be showcased each month. Please send questions to Amanda Purchase Roberts, purchaserobertsa@missouri.edu.

A series of sessions is in development to provide resources and support for supervisors of student employees. The series will connect to the Employee Development Timeline (shared below). If you have ideas for topics we should cover or recommendations for presenters, please send to Amanda Purchase Roberts, purchaserobertsa@missouri.edu.
