Whereas, A well-educated work force, with both academic and work experience,
contributes to a better, more productive society; and,
Whereas, Student employees make meaningful contributions to the work performed
by Michigan colleges and universities; and,
Whereas, Student employment aids retention by helping students earn money
to stay in school, as well as making valuable on-campus contacts with faculty,
staff and fellow students; and,
Whereas, Students acquire work-based learning experiences that enhance and
complement their academic learning, and prepares them for the world of work
after graduation; and,
Whereas, Contributions of student employees greatly enhance the work and services
of their institutions on many levels, whether working in residence hall food
service, doing research, or working in university offices; and now therefore
be it
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim the week of April 13, 2003 as Student Employment Week in
Michigan.
