Try this

this.lblAssignee.Text = " Student \"<b>" + StudentAssign + "</b>\" assigned to Officer \"<b>" + objAssign.FullName + "</b>\".";

or this (better maintainability)

this.lblAssignee.Text = " Student \"<span class='highlight'>" + StudentAssign + "</span>\" assigned to Officer \"<span class='highlight'>" + objAssign.FullName + "</span>\".";

and in your stylesheet

.highlight { font-weight: bold; }

+1 for *not* using bold tags although strong/em may be better than a span and a class – Kevin Main Jul 23 '12 at 08:41
Isn't strong preferred to b ? – podiluska Jul 23 '12 at 08:42
strong/em probably would be preferable to b but they are not strictly the same (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2243074/is-it-ok-to-use-strong-in-place-of-b-blindly) so will leave that up to the OP to decide. – Chris Herring Jul 23 '12 at 08:48

Another option would be setting the Font.Bold property of the label to True.

Something like:

myLabel.Font.Bold = True

Assuming you can use several labels of course.
