The Office of Graduate Studies strives to develop excellent graduate students. Through the activities of recruitment, admissions, and academic and professional development we support and provide resources for students, faculty, and staff.
The recruitment graduate assistantship offers a graduate student the opportunity to learn about the administration and activities of the Office of Graduate Studies, essentially the dean’s office. With a specific focus on recruitment, the graduate assistant will learn more about all of UNL’s degree programs, student and faculty research, and be a part of a cutting-edge team leading the nation in this emerging issue in graduate education.
