CALL for VOLUNTEERS!

What do you love most about GATAcademy?

If FREE FOOD and making new friends interests you, we have a wonderful opportunity being offered.

We are looking for volunteers for our annual GATAcademy, a full-day professional development event for graduate assistants (GAs) and teaching assistants (TAs). That means a full day of workshops designed to help you improve as a teacher, a professional, and a person (not that we’re saying you need it). GATAcademy is an opportunity for new and returning GA/TAs – and really just anyone interested in teaching and learning – to ask questions, share strategies, and hopefully gain the type of clarity and confidence that squashes all those nagging fears we have as educators.

The 2016 GATAcademy will be held in the Odette building at the University of Windsor on September 7, 2016.

We are looking for volunteers to be part of our team hosting this conference.  There are various positions available for you – room hosts, registration assistants, way finders, signage managers, food and refreshment assistants, and social media.  Volunteer training takes place on August 31, September 1, or September 2, 2016 (although, you only need to sign up for one training session).

To register as a volunteer go to http://uwindsor.fluidsurveys.com/s/gatacademy2016/. At this site you will indicate your preferences for days/times and positions and training time.

We recognize that you will be giving of your time and energy, and it will be worth it. Consider volunteering for this amazing opportunity to meet new people and expand your knowledge of public relations, event planning and management.  Go the link above to register- and get a few friends to do so as well!
