Instructions for Faculty and Instructors

Faculty are responsible for finding students that would be interested in being a UTA for their classes. We encourage faculty to actively recruit students who meet the requirements and would be a great fit for this experience. Once you have found a student, please ask them to consult Dr. Joonghwa Lee to discuss next steps.

The Department of Communication Office and our Undergraduate Academic Advisor are not responsible for finding students who would like to be a UTA. The Office will help facilitate the process once a student has been selected.
