Dear All,

After a rigorous review of the spring 2017 graduation applications, hiring decisions were made based on the following criteria:

- TA work performance

- Research/project performance with chosen faculty member

- Availability of funding

Email notification has been sent out concerning the graduate assistantships today.

Depending on departmental need, there MAY be a second hiring phase.  Please hold ALL inquiries concerning this matter!!

Thank you,

Xiaojun Cao
