National Student Employment Week

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​National Student Employment Week (NSEW) is an annual celebration dedicated to honoring and recognizing DePaul's student employees! It's part of a national week of recognition as universities across the country celebrate the outstanding contributions and achievements of their student employees.  We celebrate NSEW at DePaul to acknowledge the incredible impact our 5,000 student employees have on our campus community!

Congratulations to the 2025 NSEW Winners and Nominees! 

Each year, as part of the National Student Employment Week celebration, DePaul's Office of Student Employment coordinates a selection process to choose and recognize both a Student Employee of the Year (SEOTY) and Supervisor of the Year (SUPOTY). These awards recognize the hard work and contributions of stellar on-campus student employees and managers. ​​​

2025 Student Employee of the Year

Juliana Soto 
Social Justice and Advocacy Assistant
Catholic Campus Ministry
Division of Mission and Ministry

"Juliana is constantly reaching out to students who are interested in building a more just world and inviting them into opportunities to grow in justice-seeking community. She has also taken great initiative in reaching out to community organizations to learn about what they do and build bridges with CCM and the greater DePaul community ... She has a growth mindset, and is always looking for ways to further her development and grow as a person, professional, and community member ... her actions demonstrate our office’s commitment to care and radical hospitality."


2025 Supervisor of the Year

Destinee Guice

Student Retention Specialist
Academic Continuity and Engagement (ACE)
Division of Student Affairs

"Destinee's ability to lead is apparent. She has allowed for us to feel as though we are valued and our opinions are heard. She is constantly asking for our feedback, and making sure we feel as though we have the resources we need to succeed ... The care Destinee gives to our individual and group development is admirable, and fosters initiative across each of the coaches in their own support for students. Destinee’s leadership and enthusiasm during team meetings allows us to stay on task while also being in community together.​"
