This video will give you detailed information about us and how we can help you.

The Fall 2021/Spring 2022 program manager is Jonilda Bahja jonildab@vt.edu. Please feel free to reach out to her with questions regarding the Academy.


Spring 2022 Application Cycle is Closed

If you are interested in joining GrATE, we will have another application cycle in the first few weeks of the Fall ’22 semester.

Application requirements are in the “Membership” tab on the menu, where you can then navigate to “Member,” “Associate,” or “Fellow” depending on which level of membership you are interested in applying for. If you need teaching evaluations, please connect with us for Peer Observation and we can help.

Have questions about the application? No worries, you can either email the program manager or submit a question to the Ask A Fellow form and someone will get back to you as soon as possible.
