Start of Block: Changes to 3FP Program

INFORMATION ABOUT PROGRAM CHANGES

 In 2021, the Future Faculty Fellows Program (3FP) will be shifting to a calendar year (January
to December) program. Based on feedback from recent years’ cohorts, this shift will better align
program outcomes with participants’ career schedules and goals. Program components and
outcomes will remain the same.        In order to still provide a substantial professional
development opportunity for students graduating before December 2021 (who would be
ineligible for a program running through December 2021), a one-time only gap semester
program will be offered in Fall 2020 (August to December). This program will be an intensive
version of 3FP with a weekly rather than bi-weekly commitment. The primary activities and
outcomes for this semester-long program will include assisting with TA Orientation and Fall
2020 TA Cafes; developing a Teaching Portfolio, including a Teaching Philosophy Statement;
teaching professional development sessions; and a Fall Retreat. While any graduate student
meeting the 3FP application criteria is eligible for this one-time only gap semester program,
priority will be given to students graduating before December 2021 or who would otherwise be
ineligible for the new calendar year program.

program by providing your name and email address below.
