Friends and colleagues of Hugh Scott
say that the senior public health studies
major lights up a room with his
charm and spirit. Since his freshman year,
Scott has worked at the university's Career
Center, where, according to co-workers,
he practices service with an infectious
smile.
Scott and friends were certainly all smiles
when he was named Student Employee
of the Year at a ceremony held April 6 in
Homewood's Glass Pavilion. He received a
$500 savings bond and various other prizes
in recognition of his outstanding service
to the Career Center, where he now fills
a senior guidance role to the center's new
student employees—several of whom nominated
Scott.
Earlier in the day, Scott was also named
the Maryland Student Employee of the Year
and will now be entered in the regional
competition.
The honors continued for the Career
Center, which also won a group recognition
award.
JHU's 15th annual Student Employee
of the Year ceremony was part of National
Student Employee Appreciation Week,
which aims to enhance awareness of student
employment and the important role it plays
in higher education. At Johns Hopkins,
students fill more than 4,200 vital positions
in the university's various offices, labs and
centers.

nominated for this year's individual awards.
Each nominee received a certificate and a
commemorative T-shirt.
