We’ve been thinking a lot about how to promote and celebrate the Graduate Assistants who help make the university function. The university works because we work.

And Graduate Assistants work hard. We teach classes, collect data, lead labs, conduct fieldwork, develop curricula, write grant proposals and IRB protocols, grade papers, hold office hours, write recommendations for students, sit on committees, and present at conferences. Our work makes the university work.

But our work is often invisible.

That’s where the #ValueofaGA hashtag comes in. Tweet about your work and tag it with #ValueofaGA. Make your value visible.
