The funded project is in partnership with UC Santa Barbara, UC Merced, CSU Channel Islands, and CSU Fresno.

 

Project Goals: The overall goal is to broaden the professoriate by creating pipelines for students of diverse identities into faculty positions at a broad array of institutions of higher education. The program provides doctoral students with relevant pedagogical training for teaching at diverse colleges and universities, pairs them with faculty mentors at a CSU campus, and provides them with an opportunity to spend time in CSU classrooms.

 

Project Description: Roselia Mendez Murillo, and five other Ph.D. students at UCSB, were competitively selected as Fellows. She will participate in a two-week pedagogy institute at UCSB, be paired with a CSU Channel Islands faculty mentor, work with the faculty mentor to teach and assess a series of pedagogical activities, and receive mentoring throughout the process of applying for academic jobs during her dissertating year.
