Stephanie Hoffman, Assistant Director of Programs for Wellness & Health Promotions, has been named 2018 Student Employment Supervisor of the Year (SESOTY) at UND.

In the winning nomination, Karina Knutson, Associate Director of Wellness Promotion, wrote “While supervising students can be challenging, Steph works tirelessly to ensure that her staff are knowledgeable in their area and are able to provide exceptional programs, events and customer service to UND and surrounding community.”

Knutson goes on to write “Many previous employees who have worked for Steph have gone on to be very successful in their professional careers- whether it’s starting their own personal training and fitness company, obtaining GRA or GTA roles at various universities, acceptance and successful completion to the UND Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy programs, or full-time employment at our own and other university wellness and recreation centers.” 

Stephanie’s name has been added to a plaque displayed in the Student Employment Office in Career Services.
