What do they do at DEL?
Graduate assistants provide valuable support to the entire DEL team. One of their main goals for this year is to improve awareness about the DEL program within the greater Nicholas School community. Additionally, they will focus on fostering a stronger relationship between students completing their degrees online and on campus. Assistants will also promote events hosted by the DEL program, contribute to and edit the DEL newsletter, and help faculty and staff with planning and executing courses through the year.
