Graduate Assistantships

The Division of Student Affairs along with several 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 offices with GA vacancies for 2024-25 will interview admitted higher education program candidates virtually on February 26, 2024.  All other School of Education students will be considered for Student Affairs Graduate Assistantship on a space-available basis after May 1. We hope prospective candidates will make plans to talk with hiring supervisors about the opportunities available for the coming year!
