Violets for Building Equity in Education (ViBEE) Fellowship

(A program for aspiring educators and change makers)

About The Fellowship

As part of our continued effort to redefine excellence in education, we are excited to launch Violets for Building Equity in Education (ViBEE), a program that will help us ensure that our Black students have the opportunity to see themselves reflected in their educators and that every student benefits from the perspective of a diversified faculty. This unique fellowship program will contribute to building a teaching community that more closely reflects the diversity and culture of our broader community. ViBEE fellows will work in partnership with a mentor teacher while engaging in classroom instruction and participating in professional development and training workshops. All ViBEE fellows will be supported by a teaching salary commensurate with a part-time faculty appointment and enroll in coursework to earn a fully-funded Master of Arts in Educational Studies from Loyola Marymount University.
