To apply: 1. Inquire with the Director of Undergraduate Studies (DUS) about the prospects for teaching a course, and provide a title, abstract and preliminary syllabus of the proposed course(s). 2. Secure, in writing (email is fine), the approval of the Director of Doctoral Studies (DDS) and your dissertation advisor, confirming satisfactory advancement in the program. The DDS may require that you submit a preliminary syllabus for approval by the Doctoral Advisory Committee. This may take time, so please plan ahead. 3. The application deadline for teaching in the fall semester is December 1 of the previous fall (e.g., to teach a course in fall 2018 you must submit your materials and DDS and dissertation advisor approvals by December 1, 2017). The application deadline for teaching in the spring semester is April 1 of the previous spring (e.g., to teach a course in spring 2018 you must submit your materials and DDS and dissertation advisor approvals by April 1, 2017). 4. You must have ABD status (i.e., successfully defended your dissertation proposal) and have received the Kaneb Center's Striving for Excellence in Teaching Certificate BEFORE your course starts. For more information on the Kaneb's teaching certificate, go here: http://kaneb.nd.edu/programs/striving-for-excellence-in-teaching-certification-program/. Acceptance is conditional on ABD status and completion of the Kaneb teaching certificate prior to the start of your course. The DUS will only consider teaching requests that are supported by the DDS and dissertation advisor, and that are submitted by the deadlines above. Do not submit requests during summer or winter breaks. This a selelctive process, and we cannot guarantee that you will be offered an opportunity to teach in the undergraduate program. Courses are selected based on several criteria: 1) academic record of the candidate and recommendation of the DDS. Priority is given to students whose work is progressing well and who have actively participated in the Kroc Institute's scholarly community and programing events (e.g., participation in Dissertation Writer's Workshop, Pres, etc.);

Appendix D Doctoral Student Conference/Workshop Opportunity

So long as funding is available, doctoral students are eligible to plan and run a conference to be offered every other year that is to take the form of a multi-day workshop in which external and internal faculty invitees respond to paper panels in which Kroc students present papers. The papers should be intended for publication in a focus issue of a peer-reviewed journal. Any such conference is optional for doctoral students to pursue, and participation is not required. When the conference is held, no student should feel compelled or pressured to participate. The Kroc doctoral student conference opportunity is intended to promote student professionalization and scholarly development through interaction with established scholars external and internal to Notre Dame, and most importantly, to result in student opportunities for peer-reviewed publications.
