Student Employee of the Year

To honor our more than 700 Badger student employees we participated in the annual National Student Employee Week, April 11 to 17, 2021, and hosted a nomination process for Student Employee of the Year. After reading and ranking 40 nominations from campus supervisors, our seven judges chose Emma Otteson as Student Employee of the Year. She works for the Counseling and Wellness Center as a Team Leader. Her supervisors said she lead teammates well, kept in touch with them over the summers, and served as a resource to them during the school year for activities and services. She also headed up their positive social media posts! Way to go, Emma! Other finalists were Ian Julander of the Richfield Library, Brandie Worthen of the Richfield Success Center, Mckenzie Lamb Wunderlich of Education and Family Studies, Ashley Brewer of the Human Resources Department, Joe Williams for SnowTV, and Anna Seipert for the Marketing Department. Good job, Badgers - we depend on you to keep us going!
