Teaching
Faculty
This
is the list of ‘Available Teaching Faculty’ at the Atlanta
University Center complex of schools. Fellows are encouraged to contact
potential teaching mentors listed on their own. Since not all faculty
at the AUC are considered appropriate teaching mentors for this program,
only those faculty on the list or those approved in writing by a member
of the FIRST Executive Committee as well as the proposed mentor’s
Chairman should be contacted by FIRST fellows. FIRST will also arrange
for fellows to visit institutions as a group. By mid-February, fellows
and mentors will submit a list of their top three choices and, based
on those lists, the optimal fellow-mentor match will be made.
