Gossett works as unit commutation (uniform) custodian for ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ's Air Force ROTC Detachment 012, in which he is enrolled as a cadet.

A communication studies major with a minor in aerospace studies, Gossett plans to become an Air Force pilot. He was recently chosen to serve as a ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ Ambassador.

As ¼«ÀÖ½ûµØ's Student Employee of the Year, Gossett received a certificate and a $200 check. His nomination will be submitted in regional competition.

Student employees were nominated by their supervisors based on the unique contributions they make in their work area.

Gossett was cited for his responsibility, reliability, accuracy, preparedness to accept new procedures, and careful management of funds and uniforms.

"He is also a very spiritual person who uplifts those around him," wrote his nominator, adding that he goes above and beyond the call of duty. "Jason demonstrates good character and citizenship at all times."
