Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Fellowship Program Information

The Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ( JDEI) Faculty Fellowship Program affirms the institutional goals of social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. The fellowship program seeks to promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse faculty at Lane Community College. The program does this by advancing the careers of individuals from groups in U.S. society that have been historically underrepresented in the academic profession. Among the College's goals are increasing the racial and ethnic diversity of its faculty and broadening access to the college-teaching profession to qualified minority scholars. Candidates may also meet the goals of the JDEI program by demonstrating a strong commitment to working with diverse student populations or advancing equity and inclusion through their teaching, research, or service. To help achieve these goals, Lane Community College sponsors an annual Justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Fellowship program designed to bring two faculty members to the College each year.

The program specifically aims to promote and support the careers of under-represented faculty. The one-year program provides reassignment of one course for one term to ensure fellowship participants have the opportunity to fully engage in their professional development as teachers and scholars and to collaborate with colleagues. Faculty fellows will teach classes in their fields of expertise and engage fully in the life of the College. They will receive both mentorship and opportunities to connect and collaborate with colleagues not only in their own discipline, but also with faculty and administrators across the College.

Lane Community College's Arts Division seeks a full-time interdisciplinary faculty member specializing in painting, drawing, printmaking, foundations, and/or new media.

A student-centered approach, collaborative spirit, and commitment to diverse student success are essential. Lane faculty are expected to support student learning through innovative instruction, collaborate within the college community, and embrace diversity. A passion for the discipline, technological sophistication, and a commitment to pedagogy, assessment, and sustainability are desired.

The Arts Division is committed to increasing the diversity and equity of the college community in multiple forms.

Reassignment time (i.e., reduced teaching load) of one course for one term during the first year for mentorship and collaboration with faculty colleagues through the Faculty Professional Development Faculty Connections for faculty eligible for the JDEI fellowship program.

Lane Community College was founded in 1964 by a vote of local citizens, and the main campus opened in 1968. The college was a successor to the Eugene Technical-Vocational School that was founded in 1938. Lane Community College has received many awards and accolades for its innovative programs and high-quality instruction. The college is a member of the League for Innovation in the Community College.

One of the advantages of working at Lane Community College is living in the area.

Eugene is home to more than 153,000 people and neighboring Springfield has more than 57,000 residents comprising the second-largest population center in the state. Eugene and Springfield are nestled in the Willamette Valley between the Pacific Ocean and the Cascade Mountains. Some peaks in the Cascade Range can be seen from the main campus. The area's scenic mountains, forests, rivers, lakes, and coastline offer many opportunities for outdoor adventures or for just sitting back and enjoying the view.
