Timely Topics Series
Timely Topics is a series of opportunities to engage with subject matter experts on topics relevant to those who support and advise graduate students and programs. Every session is available to all UConn faculty and staff. We hope you’ll join us for the upcoming session:
Workflow and Tools When Recruiting & Hiring Graduate Assistants for Non-Academic Units
Graduate students have a wealth of knowledge and skills that make them incredible assets as Graduate Assistants (GAs). As more non-academic units offer graduate assistantship positions than ever before, The Graduate School and the Center for Career Development are partnering to offer guidance on what non-academic units should take into consideration when recruiting and hiring a GA, including best practices for creating a job description that will attract a strong applicant pool, how to advertise open GA positions, and how to handle the administrative and payroll aspects of appointing a GA in a non-academic unit. Any non-academic unit that currently hires or is considering hiring a GA will find this session valuable.
Date: Thursday, April 13, 2023
Time: 1pm – 2pm
Facilitators: Kay Kimball Gruder, Associate Director, Graduate Student & Postdoc Career Programs and Services, Center for Career Development (Storrs) & Megan Petsa, Director of Graduate Student Administration, The Graduate School
