Take Your Education to Impact the State. Graduate Student Assistantships

Not to put it too strongly, but a career in Extension puts you on the forefront of changing the world. Truly, the work you do with Extension is a passion project in seeing your work impact the lives of those in your community. Beginning that work as a Graduate Assistant prepares you for the challenging and fulfilling impact you will have as you enter your professional career.

Our Graduate Assistants develop a unique, integrated research focus based on an identified need in Nebraska, a region of the state, or a specific county. This focus area will strengthen Extension's impact through new program development.

Graduate Assistants will receive invaluable experience as they work side-by-side with an advisory committee that includes an Extension Specialist and an Extension Educator who serve as coaches or mentors.
