This program is designed to give graduate students from historically underrepresented and underserved populations teaching experience and to explore employment opportunities within a university setting, which is committed to cultural diversity. Selected scholars will teach and/or co-teach one course during one of the two 5-week Summer Sessions. See web site for more details on campuses available and application procedures.

Masters degree required and doctoral or ABD preferred; academic background in one of the fields taught; and at least three favorable letters of recommendation from faculty or professionals in the student’s field, including the student’s advisor.
