Knowledge & Abilities

To meet workforce demands and the needs of the student population, Bakersfield College requires a qualified diverse faculty group. The college has a growing number of students of color, and it is imperative for the college to implement practices that will aid in the recruiting and retention of those students, and faculty of color is vital to the success of underrepresented minorities.

Therefore, the Faculty Diversification Fellowship provides post-baccalaureate students interested in teaching at a 2-year college with an opportunity to participate in a mentorship collaboration with a Bakersfield College faculty. In addition, candidates will gain exposure to the community college culture, including best practices for teaching and supporting the diverse group of students enrolled at a rural California Community College.

The Faculty Fellowship Program allows the college to recruit and train qualified candidates in an effective and fiscally responsible manner. More importantly though, it is a contribution to the community to hire candidates from the San Joaquin Valley, and the surrounding areas, to teach for Bakersfield College.

The mentorship and development of faculty of color is equally important as the development of our students of color. It is not enough to diversify the hiring process; it is vital to also foster and cultivate newly hired URM faculty. Therefore, the Faculty Diversification Program provides candidates with both exposure to the classroom, as well as mentorship from an established faculty member. Additionally, once candidates are recruited and trained through this program, exemplary candidates can be recruited to assist with campus-wide efforts such as rural initiatives, the rising scholars' program, early college, dual enrollment, and others.

This is a 1-year intensive program that provides fellows with a mentor to gain in-classroom teaching experience. Selected fellows move on to teach their own course load in the second half of the program.

This program is built on four fundamental pillars :

At the core of our program are three Equity Driven Practices :
