National Student Employment Week Excursions

National Student Employment Week is celebrated during the second full week in April every year. Colleges and universities across the country take time to recognize the importance of student employees. Student employees perform invaluable services with enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative. We set aside this special week to show appreciation for our ISU student employees. The Office of Student Financial Aid, in collaboration with campus and community partners, shared a wide variety of events for NSEW 2025! The theme was anchored in excellence: celebrating students under the sea.
