Department was great, institution needs work

Graduate assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

the department culture was great and really tried to create learning opportunities for grad students

Cons

The institution doesn't value grad assistants as they should. Grads do a large portion of the Student Affairs work at CSUF Fullerton and are not paid a living wage for the sate/area they live/work/study in. They also need work on being anti-racist and listening/protecting students.
