Graduate Teaching Fellowship Mentoring Program

Our Mission

Learn

• As part of the Graduate Program in English, you’ll take a wide range of courses in Scholarly Methods, English and American Literature, and Theory.
• Graduate Teaching Assistants learn the craft of teaching from seasoned professionals.
• Stipends and full tuition waivers are available.

Collaborate

• As a member of a teaching team, you’ll receive guidance and support from experienced and engaging teachers. Mentors, GTAs, and GTFs help each other to succeed in the classroom.
• Join a community of teachers, exchange ideas, share your experiences, and work directly with students.

Teach

• In your second year in the classroom, you’ll take charge of your own class and receive guidance from a faculty mentor and teaching team.
• Graduate Teaching Fellows design classroom activities, create grading criteria, and evaluate student progress, while developing their own philosophy of teaching.
• Applicants should contact Amanda Kellogg, Ph.D., Graduate Program Director, or Frank Napolitano, Ph.D., GTF Program Coordinator.
