Hung has worked for the DMC for five years since his sophomore year.

In that time, he has been engaged in many unique endeavors on campus.

"We started a student poster printing business in the DMC. David took over the entire printing business, purchases ink and paper and tracked how many posters the students made," Freedman said.

Hung also used his digital media and engineering skills to create logos and billboards. He is also mapped out the Decker Quad for Google Earth.

"Before David did the mapping, the Decker Quad was shown as an empty parking lot on Google Earth," Freedman said.

Hung used a digital camera and a helium balloon with a sensor on it to take aerial pictures of the Quad.

Hung and Smith were awarded plaques from President Ron Daniels, $500 in gift certificates and a chance to compete for the Regional Student Employee of the Year.

Hung has already won the Northeast Regional Graduate Student Employee of the Year and is in line to compete for National Graduate Student Employee of the Year.

Along with the two student employees, Frank Robinson, the director of campus safety and security, was recognized as the Employer of the Year.

The runner-up student employee of the year is senior Sarah Kim.

The runner-up graduate student employee of the year is Abdulgafoor M. Bacharri.

Anne Irwin, fitness and weight room supervisor in the recreational center, was runner-up employer of the year.

Celebrating National Student Employment week, a number of prizes and events have been sponsored by corporations like M&T Bank.

"It puts student employment at the forefront," D. Lynn O'Neil, director of Student Employment Services said.

"With a part-time job, students learn many necessary values for work in the future. A job gives you the opportunity to apply what you learn in class, teach you things you don't learn in the classroom to enhance your perspective on life."
