Five Minority Students Awarded Fellowships Five outstanding campus scholars have been awarded fellowships in a fellowship program for underrepresented minority students sponsored by the National Research Council. The program seeks to increase the representation underrepresented minority groups on the nation's college and university faculties. Award winners were selected from about 1,000 applicants, based on merit and promise of future achievement. The correct date for Tess Gallagher's reading in the Lunch Poems series is Thursday, Oct. 30.
Assistant professors mentored by senior faculty members are eligible.
Deadline for receipt of the mentor grant applications for the 1996-97 academic year is Nov. 17 for the fall semester and Feb. 13 for spring. Career Development Grants provide a fully paid leave for one academic semester for junior faculty members whose involvement in university and community activities curtails their time for scholarship and creative activities necessary for promotion to tenure. Non-tenured ladder faculty members who have held the title for at least one academic year at 50 percent time or more are eligible to apply. Career development grant applications and supporting materials are due by Dec. 8. For information contact Russell Ellis, acting faculty equity assistant, at 642-1935.
