A record 12 PhD students and postdoctoral researchers have been named to CEE's 2022 class of Future Faculty Fellows.
In partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning, the program aims to build the next great generation of educators, starting by supporting and mentoring student research. Fellows receive a $1,000 stipend from the School, in addition to one-on-one mentoring with current Georgia Tech faculty.
This year, CEE was awarded funding from the Provost’s Fund for Excellence in Graduate Studies and used the grant to support six more students than the previous year, expanding its program to reach more fellowship candidates from groups traditionally underrepresented in engineering.
"I am committed to sustaining the excellent processes and programs that make CEE’s graduate programs among the top-ranked programs in the world, while also fostering a more inclusive and diverse graduate student population," said Professor John E. Taylor, associate chair for graduate programs and research innovation. "Increasing the diversity of the Future Faculty Fellows is an important and positive step in this direction."
This year’s fellows have pursued interests ranging from stormwater pollutants to transportation workplace culture and have shown a bright, promising future in academia.
