Developing Tomorrow's Leaders Today
Graduate Assistant Preview Program (GAPP), held annually in February, is a weekend of interviews where 50+ potential candidates are interviewed for campus assistantships. These potential graduate assistants and students will be interviewing for and potentially receiving different positions within the University ranging from student housing to career advising. GAPP also includes a number of opportunities to socialize with current students, explore the wonderful sights of Boone, and meet some professionals on campus. The weekend is not solely an interview for prosepective students, but it is where you have the opportunity to interview Appalachian State. We provide plenty of opportunities for you to see how you might fit and feel comfortable within our prestigious university. We hope to see you there!
THE IMPORTANCE OF DIVERSITY IN STUDENT DEVELOPMENT
The Division of Student Development is committed to student and staff diversity, and we value the educational benefits that flow from such diversity. In order to promote a diverse community that is supportive of all students the Division seeks student affairs leaders who reflect the diversity of our student population as well as the broader society. Towards this end we highly encourage candidates with diverse backgrounds and experiences to apply for our positions. Among our many assistantships that promote and celebrate diversity, there are three specific assistantships in which graduate assistants can work specifically in multicultural settings. For information on these assistantships, please visit the available positions section.
