Assistantships for Graduate/Doctoral Students
A limited number of graduate assistantships and fellowships are available to graduate students. Students contract to provide a minimum number of hours per week to the department in some capacity. In return, students generally receive a combination of tuition remission and a stipend.
Many of these programs are administered by individual academic departments but some opportunities are available to students in any graduate program.
Women's Center Assistantship Program
At this time, there is no vacancy for a GA within the Women's Center, but when a position is available, the Women’s Center seeks candidates with excellent communication, organizational, and computer skills, who enjoy planning and implementing programs — both independently and collaboratively — especially for an undergraduate student audience.
Flexibility, self-initiative, ability to work independently and demonstrated interest in and knowledge of issues of special concern to women will characterize this GA. Priority is given to applicants enrolled in the College Student Personnel and/or Higher Education Administration graduate programs. Undergraduate education in Women’s & Gender Studies, Communication/Publicity, Marketing and/or experience with a campus women’s center will also be highly valued.
The Women’s Center Graduate Assistant is an integral member of the Women’s Center staff. The GA’s primary role is to assist in carrying out the Women’s Center’s mission with its student constituents through outreach, programming, communication and promotion of the Center and its resources.
When a position is available, an application form will be available on this page.
