Martha Blakeney Hodges Fellow

The term Graduate Assistant is the umbrella term that encompasses all types of GA appointments. Graduate Assistants are employed by the University to teach, conduct research, or assist with administrative duties in departments and non-academic units. Every attempt is made to assign Graduate Assistants to positions that are directly related to the student's field of study or that provide the opportunity to develop transferable, professional skills. Graduate Assistantships are assigned in the department or unit and confirmed by the Graduate School.

The Martha Blakeney Hodges Fellowship Program is designed to provide UNC Greensboro students with an intensive, hands-on experience working in an academic special collections and university archives department. During the fall 2025 semester, students will participate in an intensive training session focused on introductory readings, discussions, and applications of archival theory and practice.

In spring 2026, the Fellows will work in collaboration with the Fellowship Coordinator and other staff in Special Collections and University Archives on a project of their design.

Additionally, throughout the academic year, the Fellows will participate in monthly workshops focused on job-training skills and professional development in academic librarianship and archival work. These workshops will be developed with the skills and interests of the Fellows in mind.

To be eligible for appointments as a graduate assistant, you must:
* Maintain academic good standing at all times (3.0).
* Be enrolled full-time, which is generally a minimum of 9 credits.
* Make satisfactory progress toward your degree as defined by your academic program and the Graduate School.
* Meet the requirements to be eligible for employment in the U.S.
