NEASEA History

NEASEA was formed in 1977 with the support and encouragement of the National Association of Student Employment Administrators.  NEASEA is fully incorporated as a not for profit organization. 

Mission Statement

The Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA, represented by the circle in our logo) is a nonprofit association of professionals involved with programs for students who work while attending college. NEASEA members are professionals from education institutions, business, industry, labor and government (represented by the five points of the pentagon in our logo) who have an interest in the employment of students on a part-time or full-time basis and who support on-campus and off-campus student work programs including Community Service, Cooperative Education Programs, Internship and Summer Employment Programs. To this end, we support and promote student employment through the exchange of ideas, professional development and the promotion of student employment administrators and their programs.

(The square in our logo represents our four colleague student employment associations: the Midwest Association of Student Employment Administrators (MASEA), the National Student Employment Association (NSEA), the Southern Association of Student Employment Administrators (SASEA), and the Western Association of Student Employment Administrators (WASEA).)

Objectives of the Association

The purpose of this organization is as follows:

1. To improve the services of those professionals who assist post-secondary students in securing part-time and summer employment by providing for the exchange of ideas and information relative to the administration of student employment services;
2. To emphasize student employment as a factor in the development of effective and productive financial support for students in higher education;
3. To promote student employment as an educational component in the student's post-secondary education;
4. To inform members of trends and issues in employment on the state, regional and national levels, and to encourage and promote programs which provide an opportunity for development of the individual student through an employment experience;
5. To facilitate communication between the educational institution and the student's employer.
