UW–Madison student Joseph Romero-Reyes, a doctoral candidate in the School of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, was recently accepted into the California State University Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program.

According to his acceptance letter, Romero-Reyes’ selection honors his “promise as a doctoral student and (his) interest in pursuing future tenure-track faculty opportunities in the California State University system.”
“The Chancellor’s Doctoral Incentive Program (CDIP) is an opportunity to join a community of scholars dedicated to supporting my aspirations to mentor, support, and teach students as a professor of higher education,” Romero-Reyes states.
He adds: “Aside from the outstanding training I have received at ELPA and the incredible mentorship of my advisor Dr. Xueli Wang, I will use CDIP as a building block to continue progressing on my dissertation research and take advantage of opportunities that will allow me to grow as a higher education scholar. I am thankful for opportunities such as CDIP because this fellowship will provide additional support as I finalize my doctoral journey and carve a path from the PhD to the professoriate.”
