Mission of the Fellowship

The Castilleja Catalyst for Equity and Inclusion Fellowship supports the recruitment, retention, and development of underrepresented teaching candidates of color at Castilleja. Fellows engage in a three-year comprehensive program that ultimately serves to foster a more culturally responsive community.

Context

Following the death of George Floyd, a collective of Black alumnae formed CBAA (Castilleja Black Alumnae Association) to urge the school to move towards greater equity and a safer and more responsive learning environment for students of color. In response to, and in support of the CBAA’s urging, an alumna donated a generous gift to create an endowed fellowship to support the recruitment of underrepresented communities of color.
