<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.25in;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">The
annual FFCEP is an all-expense-paid opportunity for minority Ph.D. and MFA
students or individuals involved in a Post Doctoral assignment to visit
Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and Rochester, NY for a weekend. We
also welcome applications from junior faculty and those who have completed
their degree. This program enables diverse prospects interested in teaching to
explore potential faculty career choices through exploratory interviews; formal
presentations; meetings with deans, department heads, and RIT president; along
with campus and community tours. The Future Faculty Program allows RIT deans to
engage prospects in discussions about their academic work and career interests.
It allows faculty to share RIT's teaching and research agenda and to dialog on
current open faculty positions or those that may be available in the near
future. </span><u><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="EN"></span></u></p>
