This program accepts only 15 graduate students each cohort who are passionate and dedicated to improving their teaching, and to help them prepare for their first faculty position after graduation.

Marcus also received an Innovative and Interdisciplinary Research Grant from the Graduate School. This competitive program will support Marcus’ dissertation research on sources of sexual health information and information use among adolescents. Terrific work Marcus!
