About Supervisor of the Year
Supervisors provide far more than basic training. They serve as mentors who build skills and advance technical knowledge, they support student career aspirations and foster professionalism, and they serve as positive role models for their student employees. In short, supervisors play a vital role in a student’s overall educational experience.
Each year, students are given the opportunity to say “Thank you!” by nominating their supervisor for the UF Supervisor of the Year Award. This award is given to an outstanding supervisor who has made a significant contribution to their student staff by demonstrating Extraordinary Leadership, Professionalism, and Guidance. The guidelines for this award have been established by the Midwest Associations for Student Employment Administrators (MASEA).
The competition is open to all UF faculty and staff who are listed as student supervisors in Workday.
The campus winner is entered in the state and regional competition as well as receiving a certificate of recognition from the University. The winner of the regional competition goes on to compete for the national title.
The nomination period for this year’s Supervisor of the Year has come to an end. Thank you to all that nominated their supervisor this year!
