In Fall 2022, the Provost’s Office will present a $1,000 Excellence in Teaching Award to a Graduate Center doctoral candidate in each of the three clusters, and a $1,000 Excellence in Mentoring Award to a Graduate Center faculty member in each of the three clusters.

A doctoral program may nominate one student for the teaching award. To be considered, each student must submit:

• a one to two-page statement reflecting on teaching at CUNY;
• a CV;
• a syllabus for a recent course;
• a sample assignment, with a short description of its role in the course;
• a copy of observation report;
• names and contact info for three current or former students.

All currently matriculated GC doctoral students are eligible for this award.

Deadline: May 2, 2022

As part of a new Mellon Foundation-supported consortium, Crossing Latinidades: Emerging Scholars and New Comparative Directions, the Graduate Center invites pre-candidacy doctoral students who plan to work on Latino studies dissertations to apply to participate in a summer institute at the University of Illinois Chicago. The selected students will also be considered for $30,000 research fellowships.

We are also helping faculty at the Graduate Center and across CUNY apply for the program’s Collaborative, Cross Institutional Research Working Groups in Latino Humanities Studies, which come with a $310,000 award. Graduate Center faculty are invited to apply for this opportunity. Learn more about Crossing Latinidades and how to apply for the funding opportunities here.

Victoria Stone-Cadena, Ph.D., associate director of CLACLS and a member of the Crossing Latinidades Initiative advisory committee, is available to answer questions and can be reached at vstone@gc.cuny.edu.

Deadline: Monday, January 31, 2022.
