At USC, graduate students embarking on the journey to academic excellence find their path through the Preparing Future Faculty (PFF) Program. Led by Michelle Hardee, CTE Program Manager for Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA) Training, this nationally recognized program empowers graduate students to shape their futures in academia and beyond. The PFF program provides them with the essential skills for impactful careers in teaching, research, and service. This spring, the CTE and Graduate School celebrated 39 exceptional PFF Awardees across 24 disciplines.
