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

Graduate Council

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.
Go Rockets!
