Find Your Faculty Advisor for GSIs 2025-2026

Each department that appoints GSIs has a Faculty Advisor for GSI Affairs. Responsibilities of Faculty Advisors for GSI Affairs include

• providing consultation on policy and regulations pertaining to GSI appointments;
• assisting in cases of unresolved conflict between GSIs and the faculty members with whom they teach; and
• approving an alternate 300-level pedagogy course for first-time GSIs who cannot take this required course in their teaching department, either because the number of GSIs is too low to make a course feasible or because of an intractable scheduling conflict.

Faculty are nominated for this position by the department chair and are appointed by the Dean of the Graduate Division. For more information about this department role, please see Faculty Advisors for GSI Affairs: Roles and Responsibilities.
