Congratulations to biochemistry major Victoria Zurakowski, who won second place in the 2021-2022 Student Employees of the Year competition! Nearly 9,000 students work in thousands of roles across UW-Madison, and each of these students creates an impact that’s felt throughout campus. The Student Employee of the Year recognition acknowledges the invaluable work of some of these students. Zurakowski is a program assistant at the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research, which aims to improve research mentoring relationships at all career stages by developing, implementing and studying evidence-based and culturally-responsive interventions.
