Graduate students will receive paid part-time work experiences focused on expanding their skills under supervision. GA鈥檚 provide faculty and/or university staff assistance in carrying out special projects or other assignments that require advanced critical thinking and problem solving.
The activities assigned to GA鈥檚 are to have an educational value with the intent of ultimately enhancing the student's academic experience. Although some tasks may include a clerical component, a graduate assistantship is not meant to be used to provide primarily clerical and office support to departments.
