Graduate assistantship sites gain significant benefits from employing a HESA MA student during their two years of graduate study. HESA MA students bring rich and varied experiences in higher education and related fields. HESA MA students focus on applying what they are learning from our curriculum to their assistantships.
Hosting a HESA-Affiliated graduate assistantship is an investment in emerging higher education and student affairs practitioners and adding a valuable colleague to your organization. HESA-affiliated GA supervisors are UConn employees, and their unit/office provides a financial and supervisory commitment to hosting a HESA student in a graduate assistantship for the duration of the student’s two-year degree program.
