- [00:00:01.558]Hi, my name is Crystal Garcia.
- [00:00:03.368]I'm a Ph.D. candidate and a graduate assistant
- [00:00:05.870]in the Department of Educational Administration
- [00:00:07.675]at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln.
- [00:00:09.851]So, really for me, the main reasons why
- [00:00:12.419]it was beneficial for me to become a graduate assistant
- [00:00:14.617]in the department is that,
- [00:00:16.107]I have future aspirations of becoming a faculty member
- [00:00:18.375]in an Ed Ad department.
- [00:00:19.901]So really, it helped me to develop my teaching,
- [00:00:22.323]research, and service.
- [00:00:23.853]So through teaching, I was able to contribute
- [00:00:26.429]to structuring classes and helping out
- [00:00:29.930]with overseeing grading, and being able to kind of
- [00:00:33.696]structure assignments and things like that.
- [00:00:36.476]So kind of having that perspective, for me,
- [00:00:38.439]was a really great opportunity.
- [00:00:40.228]And then also in regards to research,
- [00:00:42.031]I was able to collaborate on multiple research projects,
- [00:00:45.181]and even have the opportunity to co-lead a research team.
- [00:00:48.399]In regard to service, I've been able to serve
- [00:00:50.474]on committees, and even serve on a committee
- [00:00:54.617]for a faculty search that we had last year.
- [00:00:57.784]And most of all, I think that the most important thing
- [00:01:00.314]about becoming a graduate assistant is that
- [00:01:02.164]you really just make those connections
- [00:01:03.651]with your faculty member and other students
- [00:01:05.627]in the department.
- [00:01:07.011]So working day-to-day with all of them
- [00:01:09.606]gives you really the opportunity to get to know
- [00:01:11.319]each other better, and to have those references
- [00:01:14.500]whenever it comes time, whenever you need them.
- [00:01:17.138]So I hope that you consider joining.
