Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP)

Coordinator Information

1. Potential as a doctoral student and interest in teaching a diverse student population. Considerations include:
   • The applicant's academic record and professional qualifications.
   • The quality of the proposed doctoral program.
   • The applicant's relevant background, experience, skills, and motivation needed to educate a diverse student body. These experiences and characteristics may include experience working with persons with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, research interests related to educating an increasingly diverse student body, and experience in a variety of cultural environments.
   • A Faculty Advisor's statement by CSU Tenure-track Faculty member(s) that enhances the student's academic experience and provides mentoring and networking opportunities to assist in the CSU job search process. The plan of support may include academic support, joint professional development, networking activities, and other similar activities.

Information from a variety of sources may be considered when evaluating this criterion. One relevant source is the CSU Report on Faculty Recruitment Survey, which presents recent information on the number of tenure track searches and appointments in various disciplines throughout the CSU system.
