Kent State University Career Exploration and Development

Huge congratulations to the 2026 Student Employment Award Celebration (SEAC) Awardees and Finalists! 🎉

As part of Student Employee Appreciation Week, student employees are nominated by their supervisors across four student award categories, recognizing their outstanding achievements and dedication. Supervisors, nominated by their student employees, are honored in two supervisor award categories. One Awardee and four additional Finalists are selected by the nomination review committees for their exceptional contributions in each category.

Every year, colleges and universities across the nation come together to shine a spotlight on the incredible impact of student workers during National Student Employment Week! At Kent State, we're honoring and recognizing our on-campus student employees and the remarkable difference they make to our university!
