Graduate Student Childcare Survey
Are you a graduate student with childcare needs during fall, spring, or summer breaks?
A fellow graduate student is exploring whether ASU could offer childcare support during academic breaks and would love to hear from you. This short survey asks about your current childcare arrangements and whether break-period childcare services would be helpful.
While there are no guarantees that ASU could offer this type of support, your feedback could help start a conversation about resources that may better support graduate student families.

Spring 2027 Graduate Internship: Survey Data Dictionary and Mapping Intern
The intern will support the Gardner Institute’s efforts to improve the documentation, consistency, accessibility, and effective use of survey data. The primary project will be developing a comprehensive data dictionary and business glossary for survey-related files.
The intern will also create crosswalks that map survey questions, variables, response options, constructs, and calculated measures across different files, survey versions, and administration cycles. This work will help the Gardner Institute track changes over time and prepare data for accurate longitudinal analysis and reporting.
The internship is:
Fully remote
10–15 hours per week, with some availability required during business hours of 9 a.m.–5 p.m. ET
$1,500 stipend
Eligible for academic credit, depending on the student’s home institution
Applications are due November 14, 2026. Applicants will be notified of decisions approximately six weeks after the deadline.
