| Graduate Assistantships in Leisure, Aging, & Health The Department of Recreation, Sport, and Tourism at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is excited to announce the availability of 9-month half-time graduate assistantships for students interested in studying the leisure, health, and well-being of adults in mid to late life. There is also a possibility of summer funding. The Department has established a Laboratory for Leisure, Health, and Wellness researching the impact of leisure activities on individuals across the lifespan, with special attention to later life. Graduate assistants will collaborate with faculty on research projects, manuscripts and conference presentations. Examples of current research projects include:
- Leisure involvement during transitions in later life (such as retirement and
widowhood) and its impact on health and well-being All graduate assistants receive a competitive stipend with a full tuition waiver and partial student fee waiver. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Megan
