Dear Tuna,

The basic info for our graduate assistantship: 

Dear Prospective Graduate Student,

I am soliciting applications for our graduate assistantship position for next year. If you are interested please contact me at ccrensh@bama.ua.edu or call 205-348-8072. We have an excellent Master's degree program with an outstanding faculty in communication studies that offers courses in cultural/critical studies, political communication, organizational communication and general communication studies. 

The University of Alabama has a rich tradition and history of support for intercollegiate debate since 1938 and our program's endowment was recently completed so we have permanent stable funding. As the debate graduate assistant you will have the opportunity to coach a team that serves students at all levels of experience and has a good travel schedule. You will also have the opportunity to gain classroom teaching experience in your second year.

Please do contact me for further information if you are interested at ccrensh@bama.ua.edu and I will be happy to discuss our program in more detail. 

Best,
Carrie
