PILLAR Program Student Applications due TODAY - 5/08/23

Monday, 08 May, 2023

Student applications for the PILLAR Program are due today, Monday, May 8th at 11:59 p.m.

If you are interested in working side by side with faculty and sharing your student experience to help make classrooms more inclusive, we invite you to apply for a paid position as a student partner on the next PILLAR Program team for the Fall 2023 semester. We are particularly interested in finding open-minded students who have a vested interest in diversity and equity.

Partners in learning, leadership, and reflection (PILLAR) is a pedagogical partnership program that pairs students with faculty to create, support, and enhance inclusive learning environments that encourage and value all learners at the University of Scranton. Pairs of students and faculty work together as peers to discuss, design, implement, and assess teaching focused on diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The PILLAR Program values the expertise that students possess about the learning experience and invites them to be agents of pedagogical change on campus.

If you are interested in becoming a student partner, please read the PILLAR Student Partner Job Description and Fall 2023 PILLAR Program Calendar and then complete the short PILLAR student partner application by Monday, May 8th at 11:59 p.m. You do not need to have previous experience, as training will be provided. Each student partner will earn a $600 stipend for their participation in the program.
