Description of Duties: The Graduate Assistant (GA) will assist in coordinating various programs and services for the Center for Trans and Queer Advocacy, including but not limited to: 

  • Oversight, planning, support, and implementation of programming initiatives such as the Ram I Am programs and the Queering the Conversation Series 
  • Support Peer Educator student development, through job training and subject-based learning 
  • Assist in general communications, marketing, visibility, and outreach efforts 
  • Develop manuals, handbooks, presentations, and resource documents 
  • Provide in-office support for LGBTQIA+ students, faculty, and staff  
  • Facilitating specialized training based on their field of study and knowledge set 
  • Oversight, and support of campus initiatives, like the Lavender Garden housing community  
  • Create on-campus and community resource guides through research, outreach, and partnerships 
  • Support LGBTQIA+ focused student organization development as needed 
  • Other duties as assigned 

Benefits of the Position: The GA will be provided various professional development opportunities, departmental meeting participation, and committee involvement (e.g., LGBTQIA+ University Caucus). The CTQA also offers tuition remission for Graduate Assistants based on their contracted hours. 

Additionally, Graduate Assistants with the CTQA can expect to co-create goals and lead projects relevant to their field of study and future career. The Director and Associate Director work with the GA and oftentimes their academic department to create opportunities for professional and personal growth that align with the GA's professional trajectory outside of the position. This is true for a range of degrees at WCUPA, including but not limited to Statistics, Psychology, and Social Work.  
 
Special Skills or Training Required: 

  • Strong knowledge of LGBTQIA+ content, identities, and experiences 
  • Demonstrated experience and/or desire to work and engage with diverse communities (specifically working with trans and queer communities)
  • Understanding of social justice, intersectionality, and community-specific needs for LGBTQ+ populations

Applications will be reviewed and applicants interviewed on a rolling basis through May 15th until the optimal candidate is identified and accepts the position. May 15th is the final deadline but individual decisions may come out much sooner based on candidate pool. Apply promptly in order to be properly considered. Please direct any questions related to the GA position to CTQA Associate Director, Aries Powell. Thank you.
