TA development programs have made great improvements in the quality of basic preparation available to graduate students with teaching assistantships. PFF programs often build upon this foundation, giving graduate students a more complete awareness of the work faculty members do in each of their rolesteaching, research, and service.

Doctoral programs should provide students the opportunity to make informed choices about the variety of academic career options and work settings in higher education. PFF programs create institutional and departmental partnerships, forming a collaborative network of faculty and academic administrators committed to the future professoriate.

The Education Division at the American Chemical Society did an excellent job in recruiting innovative proposals, so much so that we in the national PFF office shifted funding so that one additional chemistry department might join the program. The chemical science participants include the following: ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ T T ~ ~ ~ ~ 123 · Duquesne University, Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, working in partnership with Chatham College, Community College of Allegheny County, La Roche College, Seton Hill College St.
