Rochester Institute of Technology 6th Annual Future Faculty Career Exploration Program

The Future Faculty Career Exploration Program (FFCEP) is an all-expense-paid opportunity for minority Ph.D. and MFA students or individuals involved in a Post Doctoral assignment to visit Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and Rochester, NY for a weekend. This program enables diverse students interested in teaching to explore potential faculty career choices through exploratory interviews; formal presentations; meetings with deans, department heads, and RIT president; along with campus and community tours. The Future Faculty Program allows RIT deans to engage prospects in discussions about their academic work and career interests. It allows faculty to share RIT's teaching and research agenda and to dialog on current open faculty positions or those that may be available in the near future. We are especially interested in applications from people of color who are underrepresented and underserved in teaching professions; i.e., African American, Latin American, American Indian, or Alaskan Native. Application deadline is June 2, 2008 Program date: September 24-28, 2008
