2010 Future Faculty Fellowship Program

The Future Faculty Fellowship Program (FFFP) is a 5-day, intensive, interdisciplinary program for senior-level graduate students, conducted by the Center for Faculty Excellence (CFE). The program was developed in collaboration with Student Government, the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, the Office of the Provost, and the Graduate School. It is designed to meet professional development goals by improving the instructional planning and teaching skills of new Teaching Fellows who are assigned to independently teach undergraduate courses at UNC-Chapel Hill and by preparing them to meet their future faculty responsibilities in research, service, and leadership.


The Spring 2010 FFFP will be May 12-14 and 17-18 in the Pleasants Family Assembly Room of Wilson Library. To apply for the program, graduate students should be directed to the application on the CFE website:

The program is limited to 24 participants selected from the group of graduate students completing the application process, which includes an essay on why they want to participate in the program, a letter of recommendation from a faculty member, and some additional information about their experiences with teaching and learning. The deadline for submission of applications and faculty recommendation letters is March 17, 2010. Students will be notified of acceptance by March 22nd.


The FFFP will be repeated in August with an application deadline in mid-May.
