Student Affairs Graduate Association’s Interview Days (SAGA Days)
SAGA Days is currently scheduled for February 21–23, 2021. We are regularly monitoring both FIU and CDC guidelines to determine if it will be web-based and/or in-person. Regardless, we will strive to maintain the highest level of safety for all candidates and participants. Check both this website and our social media pages (linked with Contact Info) regularly to confirm the dates and modality of our 2021 SAGA Days. Our visit days intend to provide applicants with an opportunity to:
- interview for graduate assistantships in Academic and Student Affairs
- visit and tour our campuses
- meet current students, faculty, and staff
- learn more about the educational program
- and more!
Upon admission to the Higher Education Administration program, the SAGA Days committee will communicate instructions with applicants regarding the visitation days.
Assistantships
Graduate assistantships provide students with practical experience in Academic and Student Affairs as well as other university departments. Assistantships may be available in Housing & Residential Life, Student Life and Development, Orientation & Family Programs, Multicultural Programs & Services, Advising, Career & Talent Development, Student Conduct & Conflict Resolution, and many more. The assistantships are:
- half-time appointments (20 hours per week)
- include a biweekly stipend
- cover 70% of health insurance costs,
- cover 80% of in-state tuition for the fall and spring semesters (all graduate students are granted in-state tuition).
To qualify for an assistantship, a student must be admitted to the Master of Science in Higher Education Administration program and be continuously registered as a full-time student (9 credits). A fully detailed list of available assistantships will be provided to those admitted to the academic program.
