This paper, grounded in Positioning Theory (Harré & Van Langenhove, 1999), investigates the intricate journey of graduate assistants from self-formation to transformation. Through examining the pivotal themes of social interaction, dynamic roles, workplace culture, and professional development, the paper reveals a nuanced interplay of factors shaping graduate assistant experiences. The major themes collectively contribute to understanding the multifaceted nature of graduate assistant experiences, thereby advancing scholarly discourse and guiding future research.
