GTAs play a critical role within the university experience. They support our faculty members in their teaching, provide mentorship and training to our undergraduate students, and provide help in laboratory and tutorial settings. The GTA experience represents a unique Work-Integrated-Learning opportunity for our graduate students and we are appreciative of their diverse perspectives and important contributions." said Serge Demers, Interim Vice-President Academic & Provost.
