.. include:: ../_people.rst Grad Jobs ========= Each year, all of the graduate students in our department take on a variety of service roles to the department and the broader community. These jobs include organizing events, managing communications, and supporting departmental operations. This page and its associated subpages provide information about the different roles available, the expectations for each role, and advice from students who have previously held these positions. This is also where we keep track of who's assigned to what jobs during the current academic year.
