Community College Faculty members are invited to take part in a number of opportunities at Princeton:

• Learn about the Community College Faculty Program, which invites community college faculty to apply to audit courses at Princeton
• Nominate a student to participate in the Teaching Transfer Initiative
• Learn more about mentoring Princeton graduate students who are Community College Teaching Fellows

Princeton graduate students who are interested in gaining teaching experience and learning more about teaching-intensive institutions are invited to apply to the Community College Teaching Fellowship. This professional development opportunity is particularly rich for graduate students because it encourages you to develop effective teaching skills in a highly diverse community college.

Recent PhDs interested in teaching and advising community college students are encouraged to apply to the Teaching Transfer Initiative. The Teaching Transfer Initiative is an academic outreach program led by Princeton University in partnership with local community colleges designed to encourage community college students to explore and transfer to four-year institutions. Each year, Princeton hires and trains recent PhDs as Teaching Transfer Associates (TTAs) to teach both regular community college courses as well as one Princeton accredited course, with the potential to be reappointed twice, for a total of three years. Associates offer advising, mentoring, and transfer information to students to serve the program’s broader goal of increasing the number of transfer students to four-year universities or colleges.
