Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é

UTEP celebrates student employees as part of National Student Employee Appreciation Week (NSEAW). Student employees play a critical role in the operation of the Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é and in recognition of their efforts, we will host a number of events to thank them for their contributions.

At UTEP, student employment, a high-impact practice, is important because it provides students with experiences that enhance their skill development, fosters a sense of belonging, and provides financial support to offset college costs.
