Dear Hilary H. Ratner, Dean:
I would like to ask for your organizations support in spreading the word for
an upcoming, all- expense-paid opportunity for Ph.D. and MFA students
including those involved in a Post Doctoral assignment to visit Rochester
Institute of Technology. Please share this information with members of your
organization and students whom you know may be interested and qualified.
Rochester Institute of Technology's annual "Future Faculty Career
Exploration Program" is one of a series of recruitment strategies designed
to fuel the future pipeline of faculty. This innovative program furthers
RIT's diversity efforts by bringing students nearing the end of their
doctoral studies and MFA studies to Rochester to receive the "RIT
treatment."
The Future Faculty Career Exploration Programis a unique and exciting
opportunity to explore potential career choices through exploratory
interviews, presentations, meetings with deans, department heads, and RIT
president, Dr. Albert Simone, as well as campus and community tours. The
Future Faculty Program allows RIT deans to engage prospects in discussions
about their academic work and career interests. It allows faculty to share
RIT's teaching and research agenda and to dialog on current open faculty
positions or those that may be available in the near future.
