Experiences within the Preparing Future Faculty Program at the University of Michigan

Curtis M. Zaleski, Shippensburg University, Shippensburg, PA

The Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor provides graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with opportunities to experience all aspects of a faculty position. Through a slow immersion process, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows gain experience balancing several aspects of faculty life including teaching, research, and committee work. The seminar will provide a broad overview of the program as well as the specific experiences of the presenter in the PFF program while a graduate student and postdoctoral fellow at the University of Michigan. The seminar is designed for undergraduate students considering a career in higher education and is intended for faculty who wish to advise students about PFF programs.
