Position: Faculty Diversity Internship Program (FDIP)

Position Summary

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:
Through faculty training and classroom internship, the LRCCD Faculty Diversity Internship Program (FDIP) is instrumental in developing a talented and dynamic pool of community college instructors who mirror the diversity of our student population which encompasses people with different cultural, racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, academic preparation, learning style, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

During the Fall semester, FDIP interns are required to participate in six (6) Saturday workshops emphasizing community college teaching. These workshops will prepare the FDIP interns for the internship. The Saturday workshops will be conducted via Zoom. The Fall semester internship may be online, in-person, or a combination of both modalities. Interns will consult with mentors to determine the intern's schedule.

The FDIP is committed to providing opportunities for faculty interns to learn and practice teaching strategies appropriate for diverse community college students as a means of recruiting qualified faculty that mirror our student population and are committed to a diversity of perspectives. Our current student demographic profile is as follows:
African American (8.2%);
Asian (14.9%);
Filipino (3%);
Hispanic/Latino (30.9%);
Multi-Race (6.8%);
Native American (0.5%);
Pacific Islander (1%);
White (31.9%);
Other Non-White (0.2%);
Other/unknown (2.6%).

PROGRAM STRUCTURE:
Successful participants commit to a one-semester training and internship program in the Fall.

Fall: LRCCD provides approximately 40 hours of community college faculty training (at no cost to the intern). Fall training topics include an overview of the California Community College (CCC) system and its students and faculty, preparing for a class, assessing student learning, effective classroom strategies, and working with diverse learning styles.

The FDIP provides hands-on experience in an educational setting with a faculty mentor for one semester. The internship will take place in the Fall semester while interns attend the Saturday training sessions.
