The objective of Diplomacy Lab projects is to get students and faculty working on projects with Department of State people. UG, G, and mixed teams (UG/G) can work with faculty in classes or special problems, etc. on Department of State-defined problems.  This is a great experience for students and faculty alike.  You get to work anyway you like.  They can be all semester or shorter-term projects.  There may even be a Diplomacy Lab Fair at the Department of State in Washington, DC.  The list of projects for Spring 2024 is attached. 

Information on the program can also be found on the GT diplomacy lab website The following link answers FAQ about involvement:  http://diplomacylab.org/about/

Calling all Ph.D. students interested in peer leadership opportunities!

The Center for Teaching and Learning is recruiting next year’s cohort of Graduate Teaching Fellows. GTFs support TA and future faculty programs by planning and facilitating TA orientation, conducting classroom observations and providing feedback on teaching to graduate student instructors, and developing a special teaching project that is mentored by a CTL faculty member. GTFs develop mentorship, leadership, and management skills, enhance their teaching and learning expertise, and build connections with fellow graduate students. The opportunity comes with a $1500 stipend per semester (no tuition waiver, does not replace existing funding). Qualified applicants will have at least 2 semesters of TA experience and demonstrate additional commitment to their teaching development.  The deadline to apply for the 2023-2024 cohort has been extended to Friday, May 12.
