Does the institution administer and/or participate in a program or programs to help build a diverse faculty that meet the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty:
Muhlenberg participates in two programs that explicitly aim to support students from underrepresented groups who aspire to the professoriate.
First, we are members of the Consortium for Faculty Diversity (CFD). CFD is a post-doctoral fellowship program that offers positions to young faculty of color and queer faculty who have recently completed their Ph.D. or are on the verge of doing so. The program provides year-long employment that includes mentoring, teaching opportunities, and a reduced teaching load to provide time for scholarship. We have had at least one CFD fellow for the last three years, and have another one this year.
Muhlenberg sponsors a Summer Boot Camp for students from underrepresented groups who aspire to the professoriate. The Boot Camp is a two week, full-time program mentored by a faculty member and sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Life. It introduces undergraduate students to the rigors of graduate level research methods and coaches them on how to conduct the graduate school search and prepare a successful application.
