Shengyu Yang is a Ph.D. student in the Department of East Asian Studies. He is also a Community College Teaching Fellow and a participant in the American Higher Education GradFUTURES Learning Cohort. 

"The Community College Teaching Fellowship gave me an unique opportunity to teach a highly diverse student body. As a Community College Teaching Fellow, I learned how to balance my research and teaching in a safe yet challenging environment. This program works well for international students and I highly recommend it!"

"I also have benefited from the The American Higher Ed GradFUTURES Learning Cohort, which transformed my understanding of an academic career. I could even say that our discussions on the history and challenges of American Higher ED as well as site visits to other colleges prepared me to make the transition from a graduate student to a future faculty member."
