Summer Grad Scholars will be mentored by faculty to support their development and prepare for potential future teaching opportunities. Faculty mentors will receive direct assistance from trained graduate students on their course preparation for the 2023-2024 academic year.

The Pedagogical Scholars Program provides experienced graduate students with advanced pedagogical and professional development to prepare for the academic job market.

The Summer Teaching Apprenticeship Program offers teaching training and mentorship to graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in preparation for teaching a summer course.

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars who complete University Studies 390X or the Certificate in Teaching Excellence can apply for the Pedagogical Liaisons Program to provide service to their departments and gain more practical pedagogical experience.

The Certificate in Teaching Excellence Program provides pedagogical training for graduate students and postdoctoral scholars in a flexible and self-paced manner.

Graduate students and postdoctoral scholars can enroll in University Studies 390X to expand their expertise in teaching in higher education and to build welcoming interdisciplinary communities.
