The Fellowship provides a valuable, mentored experience by a tenured community college faculty member. This program helps Princeton graduate students to develop as teachers, designing and delivering their own courses in their academic fields while learning about teaching in a community college setting. Following a mentored semester, during which Princeton Ph.D. students shadow and learn from a tenured community college faculty member, each Princeton Ph.D. student has the opportunity to teach a course at a participating community college. The program helps Princeton graduate students develop as teachers, as they design and deliver course content while learning about the academic environment of a community college. Program in Teacher Preparation The Program in Teacher Preparation, commonly referred to as Teacher Prep, prepares students to serve as teachers and educational leaders in our nation’s secondary schools. The program is open to Princeton undergraduates, graduate students, and alumni, who may return to Princeton at any time to complete the program. Students completing the program earn a University certificate and are eligible for a New Jersey State teaching license, which is transferable to other states. Quin Morton Fellows Princeton graduate students who will be registered in Dissertation Completion Enrollment (DCE) status are invited to apply for one-year positions as Quin Morton Teaching Fellows through the Princeton Writing Program. Quin Morton Teaching Fellows teach one topic-based writing seminar of their own design each semester and participate in an intensive faculty development program, which includes meetings and workshops on seminar design and writing pedagogy. Resources Collaborative Teaching Initiative in the Humanities Graduate students in the humanities who have successfully completed their general examination and who have already demonstrated excellence in teaching as an AI in a previous semester may apply to participate in a pilot initiative that allows them to co-design and co-teach an undergraduate course at Princeton with a faculty mentor. The aim of this initiative is twofold: first, to facilitate graduate student intellectual development and pedagogical and professional experience under the guidance of a seasoned mentor, specifically through the design and full co-teaching of a course; and second, to provide innovative new team-taught classes for Princeton’s undergraduates.

Princeton University Preparatory Program (PUPP) PUPP is a comprehensive academic and cultural enrichment program for high-achieving, low-income high school students from Ewing, Lawrence, Nottingham, Princeton and Trenton High Schools. PUPP works with high school scholars beginning the summer after their 9th-grade year and continuing through high school graduation. The program's goal is to prepare students for success at selective colleges and universities. Fellows serve as mentors and lead weekly academic enrichment sessions on critical reading, writing and thinking skills for 6 to 12 high school juniors and seniors. Prison Teaching Initiative (PTI) PTI provides credit-bearing college courses to inmates at New Jersey correctional facilities near Princeton’s campus. Courses in several disciplines are taught by volunteer instructors, including Princeton faculty, staff, postdoctoral fellows, graduate students, alumni, and advanced undergraduates. Graduate student volunteers have the opportunity to teach their own courses in a nontraditional, meaningful setting through this initiative.

ReMatch ReMatch is a research mentoring program designed to connect undergraduate students and graduate students, two historically unconnected populations at Princeton, through their shared interest in academic research. ReMatch offers fellowship funding for mentorship connections and joint research projects. The graduate student mentors come from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and engineering, representing research opportunities of interest to a wide spectrum of undergraduates. Resident Graduate Student Program Each of the undergraduate residential colleges at Princeton includes up to ten graduate students who live among the undergraduates within the college and offer academic, intellectual, social, and cultural programming and support to those undergraduates. Residents graduate students (RGSs) are appointed each spring through an interview process managed by the Office of the Dean of the College. Scholars Institute Fellows Program (SIFP) SIFP offers mentorship, academic enrichment, and a welcoming scholarly community to undergraduate students from backgrounds historically underrepresented at Princeton, including first-generation and low-income students as well as military veterans and transfer students. Graduate Fellows provide individualized mentorship to an undergraduate student leader, as well as co-facilitate monthly mentorship meetings with 10-12 undergraduate students. The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning offers extensive programs and services geared toward developing graduate students as professional scholars and teachers.
