Graduate Assistantships
The Division of Student Affairs and some other administrative offices on campus hire a number of graduate students each year to serve as Graduate Assistants (GAs). Below is a list of offices which are funded to support Graduate Assistants (only some of these positions represent openings in a given academic year). Select each link for a detailed description of the positions, benefits, selection criteria, etc. We encourage you to contact the supervisors for positions that interest you in order to learn more.
All student affairs offices with GA vacancies for 2012-13 will interview higher education program candidates who are invited to the "36 Hours at William and Mary" event at the end of February. We hope prospective higher education candidates will make plans to come and talk with us about the opportunities available for the coming year!

These openings will not be featured at the Assistantship Fair in March.
