Woodrow Wilson Fellows at UT

The College of Graduate Studies is delighted to recognize the accomplishments of the first cohort of Woodrow Wilson Fellows who graduated from UT in summer 2013 and to welcome the second cohort of WW Fellows that began their intensive one-year science and math education Master’s and licensure program here at UT in the Judith Herb College of Education this summer.  The WWF program recruits accomplished career changers and outstanding recent college graduates in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields who will prepare for math and science teaching positions in Ohio’s urban and rural schools. The Fellows are selected from a highly competitive pool and receive a $30,000 stipend and a tuition scholarship for their one year program.  In summer 2013, 12 WW Fellows graduated and 10 new WW Fellows began their program

For more information, please see the full journal.

Graduate Council Welcomes new Woodrow Wilson Fellows

On September 17, the new cohort of 10 WW Fellows was introduced to the Graduate Council by Dr. Rebecca Schneider, an Associate Professor in Science Education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction, and one of the co-PI’s on Woodrow Wilson Teaching Award.  The WWF group included students with degrees from UT, The Ohio State University, Bowling Green University, Ohio Wesleyan, Miami University, The University of Michigan, and Rose-Huhlman Institute of Technology in subjects ranging from chemistry, environmental sciences, biomedical engineering, pharmaceutical sciences, and mathematics to history. Many had already taught, tutored or volunteered with special groups such as the Toledo Public Schools, Boy Scouts, 4-H, and underprivileged youth groups.

The College of Graduate Studies extends a warm welcome to these new Fellows!
