Description

Presenting opportunities for individuals to become deeply involved in their own learning, the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) program offers Historic Black Universities and Colleges (HBCU) pre-dissertation candidates space, mentorship and networking at JMU. The presence of HBCU graduate instructors also offers JMU faculty and students the chance to become aware of the quality of scholarship that diversity contributes to creating an excellent education for all. For the period under review, JMU was host to three PFFs and one postdoctoral fellow. JMU’s partner HBCU institutions are Howard University, Morgan State University, and Tuskegee University.
