It's that time of year again: Student Worker Appreciation time!*

*We always appreciate our student workers, but now we announce it to everyone, because the second full week of April is National Student Employment Week. BLAIS and Centers staff are grateful for the reminder and opportunity to celebrate our undergraduate student workers and our post-bac and graduate fellows, whom we adore and on whom we—and people from the BC/CU communities and beyond—depend.

We invited student workers to share their name, area of study, an image of or related to themselves, and a response to the question

Is there a song/album/genre that personifies your job? Tell us about it!
