Comments:
This program has introduced over 400 young faculty members to the academic role. Fellows remain in their current positions while spending 6 weeks during the year in Chapel Hill. This time is devoted to intensive instruction in academic skills which are put into practice through a series of projects completed at fellows' parent locations under faculty supervision.
