Teaching Support

Application Deadline: January 19, 2010
The Edward E. Ford Foundation has granted Hackley $50,000 (the highest level of support given by the foundation) to help fund an innovative faculty recruitment program designed to identify, create, attract and retain teachers from historically underrepresented groups: African American/Black, Asian, Latino/a, Middle Eastern and Native American. The Hackley community matched the $50,000 with an additional $50,000 for a total of $100,000 dedicated to seven years of this Teaching Fellows program. If you are interested in learning more about the E.E. Ford Foundation and this grant, click here, and click on the tab, “Projects of Interest.”

Now that you have found a home in your major, come and talk with faculty members and folks from the CRC and OIS about what happens next.

Dinner will be provided. RSVP to Dean Garrett (ngarrett@wesleyan.edu or x2774) to sign up.

Are you interested in law school? Have questions, but don’t know where to turn? Attend Students of Color and the Law and hear 3 current area law students (including 2 Wes alumni) who are members of the National Black Law Students Association speak about their experiences in law school. You can submit your questions for the law students in advance to Jim Kubat, and they will get answered on October 4. The law students plan to speak briefly about preparing for the LSAT, the admissions process, financial aid and scholarships, law school courses and professors, and law school exams! You will hear the real deal about law school!

The NBLSA regional and national board members will also inform you of an excellent opportunity that may improve your chances of getting into law school. You can join the College Student Division of NEBLSA!

A $50 GIFT CARD to TYPHOON RESTAURANT will be given to the student who enters the 125th internship, research program, job or other summer experience into WesSID! (Will there be other prizes later? We’ll have to see…)

WesSID will be a continually growing online database of experiences –internships, fellowship programs, volunteer work, and summer/part-time jobs — held previously by Wes students.

Over time, it will be a powerful source of leads exclusively for Wes students looking for their next great experience.

To launch WesSID, we need your experience ASAP!  If you submit an experience into the database by Friday, April 17, you will be eligible to win one of two $50 iTunes cards.

For details and the path to access the WesSID Entry Form, go to the CRC homepage, Special Announcements and click on Wesleyan Student Internship Database.
