Teaching Assistant and Instructional Support Orientation

To our Teaching Assistants ~

Welcome to The University of Akron!  

We are happy to have you as part of our University family.  As a Teaching Assistant, you have a very important role in the development of student learners.  We know you will gain a wealth of experience and knowledge in the higher education process through your experience as a TA.  To help prepare you for this important endeavor, we are providing some information that may ease your transition into your role as a TA or Instructional Support!

Don't be afraid to ask any questions!  Seek out assistance from your Coordinator/Department Chair or Administrative Assistant/Secretary.  Any of these individuals have a wealth of information to share with you.
