The ChE Department has released their list of classes where graduate teaching assistants are needed for the Fall 2018 semester. If you are interested in serving as a TA in the fall, please send an email to Cathy Krause by Friday, April 27 with the following information:

1) Your preferred courses
2) The name of your faculty advisor
3) Whether you have served as a TA previously
4) Whether you are doing the TA to fulfill the PhD degree requirement or for some other reason (to help with funding, because of interest in teaching, etc.)
