Graduate Student Employment

To financially support graduate students who are not on graduate assistantships, professional opportunities for graduate student employment are available in several offices and departments across the SSU campus, including: the Asa H. Gordon Library, the Office of Graduate Studies and the Office of Student Affairs.

All graduate student employment opportunities are diverse in nature and encompass a wide variety of responsibilities and duties while allowing students to also achieve their academic goals. These graduate student employment opportunities include: working with faculty and staff on research, performing assigned teaching, mentoring, tutoring, research and other responsibilities as assigned.

The Graduate Student Employment Program at Savannah State University is designed to promote the research and teaching responsibility of the university and to provide students with valuable professional development opportunities while he or she earns a degree. Therefore, graduate student employment involves the dual responsibilities of maintaining a satisfactory academic performance and of successfully performing the assigned teaching, research, or other responsibilities.

Information regarding Graduate Student employment opportunities is offered by the Graduate Studies Office or Human Resources. Please contact the Office of Graduate Studies at grad@savannahstate.edu or call us at 912-358-3393 for more information.
