How does one become a Lead UTA?
Each semester, students in the lab are asked to rate both the Lead UTAs and the regular UTAs. The interested TAs having the highest ratings are the first to offered Lead UTA positions behind existing Lead UTAs. (Not all Lead UTAs are guaranteed consecutive semesters of employment, although most are given priority. We like to provide an opportunity for new Lead TAs to rotate into positions.) Typically, one cannot become a Lead UTA until completing at least two semesters as a regular UTA.
