DEANS, DIRECTORS, AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRS
SUBJECT: 2000-2001 Chancellor's Teaching Fellowships
I am pleased to issue this call for applications to the Chancellor's
Teaching Fellowship Program. The program provides graduate students
with opportunities to participate in closely supervised teaching
apprenticeships with UC Davis faculty members. This fellowship program
is open to graduate students in all disciplines and carries a stipend for one
quarter of the 2000-01 academic year that is equivalent to the salary of a
half-time Associate-In ($1,599.33 per month, subject to salary adjustments)
as well as a fee waiver for the quarter in which the course is taught.
The primary purpose of this fellowship is to enhance the preparation of
potential future faculty by supporting close collaborative relationships
between the teaching fellows and faculty members acknowledged as exemplary
teachers. The apprenticeship relationship is the critical aspect of the
program. However, the select nature of this award is also intended to honor
those graduate students who have demonstrated exceptional promise as
educators at the post-secondary level.
A description of the program and the application procedure is available at:
http://trc.ucdavis.edu/T
RC/grads/CTF/ctfcall.html. Applications will be reviewed by an advisory
committee.
The deadline for the submission of applications is Tuesday, January 11,
2000. The 2000-01 Chancellor's Teaching Fellowship awards will be announced by
Spring Quarter 2000. The early deadline and announcement should help departments
and graduate students plan support for the 2000-01 academic year.
Applicants are encouraged to attend one of the following informational
meetings in 25 Wellman Hall: Tuesday, November 9, 9:00 a.m., or Friday, November 12,
2:00 p.m. For more information or assistance, contact Will Davis, Coordinator
of Graduate Student Programs, Teaching Resources Center (752-6050).
Sincerely,
Larry N. Vanderhoef
Chancellor
