For Undergraduates

 

Learning Lab Undergraduate Fellows

Learning Lab Undergraduate Fellows (or LLUFs) collaborate with the Bok Center’s Learning Lab to help Harvard faculty members design and test assignments that utilize innovative modes of academic communication  such as video essays, 3D modeling, animation, and more.  LLUFs have the opportunity to explore and become proficient in a broad range of media, many of them digital (e.g. Adobe Creative Suite, Blender 3D Modeling software, Unity game development software, and Final Cut Pro X). This training enables LLUFs to contribute to helping the Harvard community—from undergraduates to faculty—become literate in alternative modes of communicating knowledge.

The LLUF program serves four purposes:

  • to test out and provide feedback on assignments and activities designed by Harvard faculty and graduate students
  • develop communication skills in an array of media and tools to support Harvard College Undergraduate classes through workshops, office hours, developing materials and resources, etc
  • to support the day to day activities of the Bok Center (helping out with events, assisting in the Learning Lab Studio, maintaining the space, etc)
  • to assist in documenting your work and the work of the Bok Center by submitting updates on your work and consenting to periodically having your work documented on camera

LLUF applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year. (We have concluded hiring for the Spring 2024 semester. Interviews and hiring will occur in late April for a Fall 2024 start.)

Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows

The Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows (UPFs) are a small team of undergraduates who work on issues of power and privilege in learning spaces across Harvard College. UPFs develop and deliver workshops on undergraduate identities for TFs and faculty, and assist with wider Bok Center programming on equity and inclusivity in the classroom. In particular, they focus on the experience of students of marginalized identities in order to understand and communicate how institutional structures and interpersonal relationships perpetuate patterns of social oppression. The aim of the UPF program is to provide instructors with tools to understand their role in facilitating classroom power dynamics harmful to marginalized students, and to offer strategies for shaping those dynamics toward more equitable and inclusive ends. Consult the full job description for Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows.

Culture and Communication Consultants

Culture and Communication Consultants (CCCs) are undergraduate fellows who support the Derek Bok Center’s Professional Communication Program for International Teachers and Scholars. In this role, CCCs actively participate in  Bok seminars and workshops and facilitate individual meetings and discussion groups with international PhD students. CCCs provide opportunities for graduate students to practice their communication skills, give feedback on language and teaching skills, and share an undergraduate perspective on teaching and academic life at Harvard.

Media & Design Fellows

Media & Design Fellows (MDFs) support innovative course development within the FAS, partnering with faculty and staff to design a variety of digital tools, course materials, and assignments for undergraduate courses and departments. Most MDF appointments span the full academic year, allowing Fellows to create activities and resources for an upcoming semester, develop technical expertise, and support implementation of new activities and assignments.

Media & Design Fellows fall in one of two categories:

  1. Department/Program-Based Media & Design Fellows. Departmental MDFs are based in a department and develop tools and materials for that department’s courses; consult the full job description for Department/Program-Based Media & Design Fellows. We welcome inquiries from faculty and departments interested in engaging Media & Design Fellows for their courses, and we also accept applications directly from graduate students who would like to serve as Media & Design Fellows.

  2. Bok-Center Based Media & Design & Fellows. Bok Media & Design Fellows are based in the Bok Center’s Learning Lab and support a range of related departments and/or General Education courses; consult the full job description for Bok Center-Based Media & Design Fellows.

Application for the 2024-2025 cohort is closed.
