This multi-year fellowship program is designed to build a network of underrepresented scholars for professional mentorship and development across the UC system. The program provides support to diverse junior scholars and mid-career faculty through a broad range of activities as they progress through the ranks. The aim is to build spaces of support, to share best practices and challenges, and to respond to unspoken expectations in the academy. Underrepresented academics across all registers and first-generation scholars often face unique obstacles to their professional advancement and often unrecognized potential to transformatively impact the university. Learn more about the Underrepresented Scholars program and keep an eye out for the next call for applications in the Fall.
