National Student Employment Week 2027

Our Student Employees Are Out of This World – NSEW 2027

Celebrating the stellar contributions of Iowa State student employees during National Student Employment Week.

Each year, during the second full week in April, campuses across the country come together to recognize the vital role student employees play in their communities. At Iowa State, our student employees are true stars! Bringing enthusiasm, dedication, and initiative to every mission they take on.

With nearly one-third of Iowa State students working on campus, their impact reaches far and wide. Student employment is a powerful launchpad for success, helping students build time management skills, strengthen their connection to campus, and develop career-ready experience that prepares them for life beyond Iowa State.

These remarkable students don’t just support daily operations—they help our campus thrive. Their contributions are essential to the work we do, and National Student Employment Week gives us the perfect opportunity to shine a spotlight on their achievements.

The Office of Financial Aid, in collaboration with campus partners, is excited to host a variety of campus-wide events throughout the week. From fun activities to exciting prizes and giveaways, there are plenty of ways to join the celebration.

We invite you to explore the events, recognize the stars among us, and celebrate the incredible student employees who help make Iowa State truly out of this world.
