Graduate Assistantships
Priority consideration will be given to applications received by February 15
Assistantships are awarded to graduate students with the expectation of appropriate professional service. Graduate assistants are apprentices in the profession, and while the service aspect is emphasized in the definition in order to make a distinction, Graduate Assistants, first and foremost, are students and valued members of the community of scholars. They are chosen for their scholarship and manifest interest in the discipline as well as their ability to perform the needed service. The service of a Graduate Teaching Assistant (T.A.) consists primarily of activities directly related to teaching, while the service of a Graduate Research Discovery Assistant (R.D.) consists primarily of research activity under the supervision of a faculty member or administrator. The service of a Graduate Research Application Assistant (R.A.) includes all other professional work in the unit accepted as appropriate and germane to the student’s educational goal.
