Grant Summary

$35,000 over 14 months to create a year-long fellowship program that will help prepare graduate students for their teaching careers. How undergraduates learn the unique assumptions and conventions of disciplines across the curriculum will serve as the primary focus of this program, which will involve a range of departments in the arts and sciences, including anthropology, English, life and natural sciences, and engineering. The program will also include the participation of faculty from these departments.
