The Junior Faculty Career Enhancement Fellowship, administered under a Mellon Foundation grant by the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, seeks to increase the presence of underrepresented minority junior faculty members and other faculty committed to eradicating racial disparities in core fields in the arts and sciences. The JFCEF is open to junior faculty who have completed their third year of teaching and are preparing for tenure. The program provides participants with a year-long sabbatical, a senior faculty mentor, and a three-day retreat for each year's selected fellows.
The 2014 JFCEF Retreat will be held in Atlanta, GA from June 23 through June 25th, concurrent with the the MMUF Coordinators' Conference and the MMUF-SSRC Graduate Student Summer Conference, which are also taking place in Atlanta this year. On the evening of June 25th, the MMUF program will mark its 25th anniversary with a gala celebration, to which coordinators, graduate students and JFCEF participants are invited.
