All graduate students who receive graduate assistantships are required to attend Graduate Student Assistant Training. This is an online training program that provides information with which students, as employees of the university, must be familiar. For instance, students must know about the American with Disabilities Act and they must also be familiar with the definition of sexual harassment. Depending upon the type of assistantship students receive, they must also participate in sessions designed to either build teaching skills or research skills. Additional online workshops may focus on various teaching strategies, statistical software packages, and/or database searches.
