National Student Employment Week 2026

Join the Student Employment team in recognizing:

Our Student Employees and Supervisor of the Year
Our Student Employees Achieve (SEA) Badge recipients
Our amazing campus partners and community!

We'll have fun toasting these achievements as well as unstructured time for student employees and supervisors to chat and learn from each other over crafts.

This National Student Employment Week, you are invited to join in for lunch and our very own version of Hot Ones, featuring key employers who will share career tips for student employees and answer your toughest questions while sweating and crying their way through ten flaming hot sauces. Come connect with local employers in an informal setting while getting the inside scoop on finding a job in your industry!

These monthly gatherings will showcase bold ideas and innovative work from DU principal investigators and faculty—designed to spark connections and uncover opportunities to work together.

This month's topic is Shining a Light on the Student Researcher.

Talks include:

Student Employment as High-Impact Practice
The Next Generation of Trauma Researchers and Changemakers
Women's Activities in Armed rebellion Collaboration
Seeing Things in a New Light: The Power of Changing Perspectives in Astronomy and in Life

Join us as we explore new ways to collaborate and create greater impact across Denver and beyond.

This event will be held in person and live via Zoom. If you would like a Zoom invitation, please email Audry.LaCrone@du.edu. Presentations will be recorded for those who wish to view at a later time as well.
