 I. Introduction
By 1998-99, however, a sufficient number of PFF students had graduated, assumed academic positions, and gained enough experience as faculty members to allow a small national survey of alumni from selected PFF clusters to evaluate how their participation in the program affected their subsequent faculty experiences.
Alumni were asked to assess quantitatively a number of different features of their PFF experiences—both general assessments of the extent to which programs increased their knowledge of the academic job market process, the dimensions of faculty roles at different institutions, and practical matters of effective teaching.
Survey participants were also invited to elaborate more qualitatively upon how they felt PFF had directly affected their choice of academic career path, their actual securing of a job, and their initial transition from graduate student to faculty member.
