Community Engagement Faculty Network
The Community Engagement Faculty Network was created in the Fall of 2009 (with the support of the Teaching and Learning Network) with the purpose to find ways for faculty members to better support one another in their community engagement efforts.

Faculty-In-Residence Program
The Faculty-in-Residence (FiR) Program integrates two selected faculty members and their families into the residence halls, where they live and interact with students, and implement educational, social, and cultural programs. Faculty-in-Residence normally serve a two-year term. This program is overseen by the Office of Student Affairs and Office of Residence Life and Summer Programs, which solicits applications from Pitzer faculty when openings are available.

For more information, contact the Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life and Conference Services.

 

Scholar-In-Residence Program

The Scholar-in-Residence Program provides course release from committee work and a reduced teaching load for one semester to allow a faculty member to work on his or her research. The faculty member is expected to offer a seminar-style course centered on his or her research during the semester of the award. The call for proposals is sent out to the faculty in late fall. Scholar-in-Residence positions are awarded per academic year, and as such, the program is competitive.

For eligibility and details, view Section V.R.2. in the Faculty Handbook.
