���ϲ����� Libraries recognized their student employees with a virtual celebration on May 6. Annually, the Libraries employs over 150 students, both customer-facing and behind the-scenes, who help keep the Libraries running.

Each year supervisors are asked to nominate student employees who have demonstrated dedicated service over time and significant contributions which have made a lasting impact on the Libraries. The Libraries recognize these students through the generous support of Kathy and Stanley Walters, Andrew Strait and friends, and other donors.

“Whether in innovation and strategy, academic success, research excellence, Special Collections or operational excellence, student employees are important to the Libraries’ culture and delivery on our mission to support students, faculty and staff with teaching, learning and research. Not only do our student employees bring good work ethic and attitude, but they teach each other, their peers and even the Libraries’ employees,” said David Seaman, University librarian and dean of SU Libraries. “We simply could not do what we do without the service and contributions of our student employees.”
