Student Employees Of The Year Named
Joel White, a native of College Station, was honored as Texas A&M University Campus Student Employee of the Year. White serves as a student pharmacy technician at the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital Pharmacy. And Kurtis Kemper, from Tyler, was recognized as Community Student Employee of the Year. Kemper works for the Bryan/College Station Habitat for Humanity as a construction assistant.
Each year Texas A&M joins colleges and universities across the country in recognizing the importance of the student employment experience during National Student Employment Week. White and Kemper will each receive a $2000 scholarship from the Association of Former Students.
The students were also named recipients of the Class of ’56 Student Employee Endowed Award. The Texas A&M Class of 1956, in recognition of its 50th anniversary, established this award to assist students so they could work less and graduate sooner. Each recipient was awarded a $3,000 scholarship.
