During the one-year term of the Predoctoral Diversity Fellowship, scholars teach one course per semester, participate in one forum per semester related to their research and dissertation projects, and work to complete their dissertations. Additionally, they will meet regularly with colleagues and receive professional development from the Dean of Faculty, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging. Fellows will work with their departments to establish their teaching schedule, which may include introductory-level courses, or developing their own new course, as a way of broadening curricular offerings. More generally the program offers support by way of professional development, networking, and community building that is often critical for graduate students to move forward in the completion of their degrees and the enhancement of their careers.
