Students participating in team building activitiesGraduate Assistants play an important role supporting students and leading programs and services within the Division of University Engagement & Student Affairs (UESA).

UESA graduate assistantships provide meaningful professional experiences that support graduate student learning inside and outside the classroom. As a graduate assistant, we value you as both a student and employee of CMU. 

Graduate Assistants work in different departments within the Division and are studying in various graduate programs, but all gain valuable professional experience and expand their networks while earning a tuition waiver and stipend. The number of credit hours covered by a graduate assistant tuition waiver is dependent on your appointment and stipends vary by department and college. Please visit the Graduate Assistant On-Campus Employment webpage for more information about these opportunities.
