Future Faculty Fellowship Program Call for Applications

The Future Faculty Fellowship Program is an annual 6-day intensive interdisciplinary program for senior-level graduate students. It is facilitated by the Center for Faculty Excellence and was developed through collaboration with Student Government, the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, the Office of the Provost and the Graduate School. The Program serves to meet professional development goals by improving the instructional planning and teaching skills of new Teaching Fellows who are assigned to teach undergraduate courses at UNC-Chapel Hill independently and to prepare them to meet their future faculty responsibilities in research, service and leadership prior to completion of their degrees.
