Faculty and TA Professional Development

This committee will make recommendations related to professional development and critical pedagogical praxis for the teaching community in topics such as, but not limited to, cultural proficiency, inclusive and equitable teaching, and how to engage in constructive discussions around racism and other forms of discrimination in the classroom.  

 

Mini-Internship Program

Our goal at UK is to position our students to succeed at every level and lead lives of meaning and purpose upon graduation. Internship programs are critical to student persistence and success – especially for BIPOC and other underrepresented students who navigate additional pressures. This team will develop a mini-internship program open to all students that will allow them to gain valuable experience in various disciplines around the institution.

Expand the established Inclusive Postdoctoral Enrichment Program (IPEP), intended to support the research career development of diverse postdoctoral fellows and to support the research career development of graduate students and diverse faculty.
