The nearly 2,900 student employees affiliated with Cornell Student and Campus Life (SCL) have performed many important tasks this academic year – from revamping communication systems for the Cornell Store to supporting Cornell Dining during a union work stoppage.

SCL celebrated these and many other achievements at the inaugural Student Employment Awards Ceremony, held April 11 in the Memorial Room in Willard Straight Hall.

The event honored 12 Cornell students and one staff member, highlighting their exceptional contributions within SCL.
