Graduate Research Assistantships
Each year, a handful of graduate students are selected to be a graduate research assistant (GRA) in lieu of teaching for a semester. Those GRAs collaborate with a specific faculty member to carry out research. GRAs receive a stipend as if they were teaching, and the collaborative experience is intended to advance the student’s professionalization.
