ner, the online system that provides students easy access to jobs, internships, and co-ops now is a source for Graduate Assistantship opportunities too.

Goodliffe said the Hire-A-Niner portal permits greater control over when and how an opportunity is posted and on who can apply. The portal also archives job postings so re-posting a job is easy.
