Fellows
The COLLEGE Fellowship at Stanford University provides recent Ph.D.s from Stanford and beyond with the opportunity to guide small groups of first-year students in their earliest stages of intellectual formation.
Love teaching undergraduates? Fellows connect with first-year students through small seminar-style classes and discussion sections. All courses are team-taught, offering additional opportunities to hone and explore new teaching methods. Courses are interdisciplinary and Fellows come from a range of disciplines.
