Outstanding Graduate Assistants

Each year, our academic programs are also asked to name an Outstanding Graduate Teaching Assistant. These students have earned financial support for their graduate education by qualifying for appointment as graduate teaching assistants. As GTAs, they work closely with faculty in a variety of instructional assignments. Their fresh perspectives and dedication to their departments contributes many aspects of the Eberly College’s mission.
