A brief description of the institution’s programs that help increase the diversity of higher education faculty :
Oberlin College participates in a number of programs designed to help build a more diverse faculty. The college’s commitment to building a diverse faculty is deep and longstanding.
Programs to hire a diverse faculty. Oberlin College is a Consortium for Faculty Diversity member institution. The college routinely seeks to appoint CFD postdoctoral fellows. The college also appoints two Mellon postdoctoral fellows per year, each for a period of two years. While the Mellon postdoctoral program is not limited to faculty from underrepresented groups, searches are conducted to promote a diverse pool of applicants. Oberlin also appoints postdoctoral teaching fellows through the O-K/UM (Oberlin College-Kalamazoo College / University of Michigan) exchange, funded by the Mellon foundation.
Mentoring, financial and/or other programs for undergraduates. Oberlin College is a participating institution in the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship Program for undergraduates from underrepresented minority groups and other students who share the goals of the MMUF program. The Oberlin College Research Fellows Program is an internal program for first generation college students, low income students, and students from underrepresented minority groups. Each year, five Mellon Mays and ten Oberlin Research fellowships are awarded.
Mentoring of doctoral students. Through the Oberlin College-Kalamazoo College / University of Michigan Exchange program, Oberlin faculty mentor doctoral students enrolled at the University of Michigan, though this program does not target doctoral students from underrepresented groups.
