The Law School and the School of Nursing each have one available in the 1999-2000 and 2000-01 period. The next available 80 percent sabbatical at the Graduate School of Social Work will come in the 2000-01 to 2005-06 period.
Information on regular sabbaticals may be obtained from individual deans' offices.
Fifteen Faculty Fellowships are available in coming years. For the 1998-99 year, seven are available at A&S, three at the Carroll School of Management, and one each at SON and SOE.
