Graduate Assistant Placement Program
Registration for 2021-2022 GAPP has CLOSED
The Division of Student Affairs, in collaboration with the Master’s of Education in Higher Education Administration graduate program, is thrilled to announce our first Graduate Assistantship Placement Program (GAPP) Interview Day scheduled for Friday, March 26, 2021 between 8 am and 5 pm.
GAPP is tasked with recruiting and matching prospective graduate students interested in a career in higher education, student personnel services, student development, or a closely related field with the multitude of departments that make up the Division of Student Affairs. GAPP is dedicated to the personal and professional growth of future higher education professionals.
While the Master’s of Education in Higher Education Administration graduate program is closely aligned with the job duties of graduate assistants employed within departments of the Division, qualified candidates exploring other graduate programs are also welcome to participate in the 2021 GAPP Interview Day for 2021-22 graduate assistantships. Students who register for this experience will be initially screened to ensure a close match between desired Student Affairs areas and previous/current work experiences/career goals. Not all candidates may receive an interview based on this criteria in addition to available time slots. Students will be informed about their status as soon as possible prior to the Interview Day.
Process
The GAPP Interview Day will be a completely virtual experience. To register for this event, please see the link below. During the registration process, candidates can choose the graduate assistant positions they are interested in interviewing for within the registration form. Candidates are able to edit their form responses between Monday, March 1, 2021, and Sunday, March 21, 2021. Candidates will be contacted by a member of the GAPP Committee with the candidate’s interview schedule and associated Zoom links by Wednesday, March 24, 2021. Additional process notes include:
- This experience is a matching process in which candidates who are interviewing will be matched with a department/position they interviewed with and that is also deemed the best fit based on the candidate desires and the department needs.
- Candidates who are offered an assistantship will only receive one offer based on the interviews held. It is possible for a candidate to not receive an offer based on trying to match candidate and hiring department ranking preferences.
- Candidates are highly encouraged to give their best on every interview and convey to hiring departments their passion and interest in those areas.
- A detailed schedule is listed below to keep you informed throughout the process.
