UC DAVIS: OFFICE OF THE CHANCELLOR October 15, 2007 DEANS, DIRECTORS, DEPARTMENT CHAIRS, AND ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICERS SUBJECT: 2008-09 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 2008-09 academic year that is equivalent to the salary of a half-time Associate-In ($1,891 per month, subject to salary adjustments) as well as a fee remission 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 central 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, application, and selection procedure is available at: http://trc.ucdavis.edu/trc/ta/CTF/index.html. The deadline for the submission of applications is Monday, January 7, 2008. The 2008-09 Chancellor's Teaching Fellowship awards will be announced by spring quarter 2008. The early deadline and announcement should help departments and graduate students plan support for the 2008-09 academic year. Applicants are encouraged to attend one of the following informational meetings in 25 Wellman Hall: Friday, November 2, 9:00 a.m., or Wednesday, November 7, 1:10 p.m., or Tuesday, November 13, 12:10 p.m. Each of the informational meetings is identical and is intended to help graduate students and their faculty mentors better understand how to approach this teaching opportunity. For more information or assistance contact the Teaching Resources Center, 752-6050. Larry N. Vanderhoef Chancellor 07-083
