Provost Communication, Monday, March 27, 2023

Hello everyone and happy Monday once again. I can’t believe this is the last week in March. It sure seems as though the semester is flying by!

Congratulations: Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program Recipients

Congratulations to Iván González-Soto and Skye H. Choi who were recently selected from Cal Poly Humboldt for recommendation into the Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program. The goal of the California State University Chancellor's Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) is to increase the number of faculty with the qualifications, motivation, and skills needed to teach the diverse students of the CSU. CDIP prepares promising doctoral students for CSU faculty positions by providing financial support, mentorship by CSU faculty, and professional development and grant resources. It is the largest program of its kind in the United States.
