Future Faculty Fellowship Program
We are now accepting applications for the fall 2009 Future Faculty Fellowship Program (FFFP). The FFFP is a 5-day intensive interdisciplinary program for senior-level graduate students developed through collaboration with Student Government, the Graduate and Professional Student Federation, the Office of the Provost and the Graduate School. The FFFP serves to establish a strong pedagogical foundation for graduate students by improving the instructional planning and teaching skills of new Teaching Fellows who are assigned to teach undergraduate courses at UNC-Chapel Hill independently, as well as prepare them to meet their future faculty responsibilities in research, service, and leadership.
