Assistantship Employers for HESI Preview 2018

Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy Programs

Welcome to the prospective assistantship employers website for the Higher Education, Student Affairs, and International Education Policy (HESI) Preview program!

This site provides information regarding the program as well as résumés/references for all of the prospective students who are participating in the 2018 Preview Program. After the program has concluded, after candidates are offered employment, and as positions are filled, the students' statuses will be noted on this website.

The Preview Program is designed to introduce newly admitted students to the HESI graduate program, their potential cohort members, and the University of Maryland community. It is also designed to connect newly admitted master’s and doctoral students with graduate assistantship supervisors. Employers and students have found the Preview Program to be an extremely effective way to handle interviewing for potential graduate assistantship positions. We are pleased that we can provide you with this talent pool and are thankful for the rich learning experiences you provide for our students.

Below is the list of students who are interested in interviewing for positions.  The name of each student serves as a link to the résumé/references for that candidate.

You should submit your preferences for candidates on the Employer Candidate Preference Form.  The deadline for submitting the form is Thursday, February 15th.  Please contact the HESI Assistantship Committee if you have any questions.

Students in italics are no longer interested in accepting offers.
