Graduate Teaching/Forensics Assistantships
North Dakota State University


On behalf of the graduate faculty, I would like to invite interested
students to apply for teaching and/or forensic assistantships in the
Department of Communication at NDSU.  We offer two year graduate study
leading to the M.A. and M.S. in Mass Communication and Speech
Communication.  The program prepares students to pursue advanced graduate
work, management-level positions, teaching or advancement in their career
areas.

Each year, two graduate students receive assistantships to work with the
forensics program.  NDSU sponsors a broad speech and debate program with a
strong service commitment to high schools in the state of North Dakota.  In
addition to competing in AFA IE events, the program is active in CEDA, NFA
L-D, and parliamentary debate.  Forensics assistants receive extensive
opportunities to learn coaching and administrative skills.  NDSU hosts 8-10
college and high school tournaments each season, along with high school
speech workshops and a summer high school speech camp.  Graduate assistants
entering in 1997 and 1998 will also have the opportunity to work with the
Pi Kappa Delta National Convention and Tournament to be hosted by NDSU in
1999.
