GradFUTURES Learning Cohorts are co-curricular learning opportunities for graduate students that are geared to broadening graduate student professional and career development. Developed and sponsored by the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School, GLCs are interdisciplinary cohorts of 10-25 graduate students who meet throughout the academic year to explore a special topic.

University Administrative Fellows gain a better understanding of the administrative units that make up a university, information valuable for those preparing for the tenure-track job market, for those preparing for careers in academic administration, and for those looking for experience that will position them for careers beyond the academy.

The fellowship consists of working on a project under the direction of the host department, attending meetings when appropriate, and discussing with the host the various aspects of the host’s position, including specific responsibilities, organizational dynamics, external networks, etc. University Administrative Fellows receive a $1,000 stipend in addition to their normal support. Before accepting the fellowship, selected students must receive permission from their dissertation adviser(s) and must be in good academic standing. 

The Arts Management GLC is a collaboration between the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School at Princeton University, the McCarter Theatre Center, other local partners, and graduate alumni of Princeton University. The PDLC will bring a range of graduate students together in a dynamic, interdisciplinary co-curricular space to explore the reciprocal relationships between performance and research, criticism and production, theory and practice, and administration and academia, while thinking about potential careers in arts-related fields.
