GENERAL CAMPUS PROGRAM DIRECTORS
SUBJECT: Call for Nominations - Summer Graduate Teaching Fellows Program – Summer 2012
I am pleased to announce the call for nominations for the Summer Session 2012 Summer Graduate Teaching Fellows Program. This fellowship program provides opportunities for some of our top advanced graduate students to participate in a faculty-mentored professional development teaching program.
General Campus department chairs and program directors are invited to nominate up to two advanced graduate students to teach in Summer Session 2012 as fellows in the program. Graduate student teaching fellows will receive the regular Summer Session salary as Associates-In and a $1,200 payment for participation in the training program. Faculty mentors will receive a $500 payment.
This is an excellent professional development program for graduate students interested in teaching. Additionally, the program increases Summer Session course offerings and provides undergraduate students the opportunity to take courses taught by some of our best advanced graduate students who have an interest in teaching.
We encourage all departments to submit a nomination. Priority will be given to graduate students who would be first-time Associates-In. Fellowship recipients will be announced by the end of fall quarter.
Please visit the web site for program details, eligibility and enrollment criteria, and online nomination submission instructions. Nominations and supporting documentation are due Friday, November 18, 2011. Please contact Gail McNabb (gmcnabb@ucsd.edu or x20226) if you have questions about the program.
With best regards,
Suresh Subramani
Executive Vice Chancellor
