Thus , our basic recommendation is to start small with the single course focusing on the " S " items most specifically related to survivability , and then over time to encourage faculty members to allow the concepts of survivability to osmose , pervasively working themselves into the broader academic program - - with particular emphasis on the design of operating systems and networking , and the use of programming languages and software engineering techniques to achieve greater survivability . The objective of the scholars program is to expand students ' horizons and range of knowledge and experience and to provide faculty mentors for students at an early stage of their university careers . Applicants are encouraged to contact faculty members directly for more specific details on research interests and projects currently underway . Regular columns in MemberNet continued to encourage faculty members to promote membership , and to request student membership materials throughout the year . If none of the research projects on the website meet your needs , you may want to contact faculty members directly ( such as previous professors , department chairs , etc ) to find out about other research projects not listed on our website . The ultimate purpose of the process of promotion in academic rank is to encourage faculty members to achieve their highest potential and to foster their development in teaching , scholarly and creative activity , and service to the University and the community . The mission of the GMP is to provide resources to prepare students to manage effectively in the global environment and to support faculty efforts to further the international dimensions of Stanford Graduate School of Business teaching and research . Each year , the university provided $ 1.5 million to support faculty efforts to learn about technology , to explore new subjects , to catch up on the off-campus world , to develop partnerships , and to revise the courses they teach . Since , as he admits , " no underlying theory exists for posttenure faculty development " ( p. 28 ) as yet , the model of ITL , with its varying foci at each of the CSU campuses , would surely earn high praise for its attempts to encourage faculty members to remain productive through their careers . She met her husband , developmental neurobiologist Kai Zinn , in graduate school at Harvard , and they were fortunate to find faculty positions together at Caltech . Prospective graduate students may contact faculty members directly to enquire about the possibility of research assistantship support . Candidates should contact faculty members directly whom they believe would be appropriate sponsors . A five-year time period will encourage faculty members to examine the more significant and complex issues of the day over a more appropriate span of time . Accordingly , students who are interested in being research assistants ( RAs ) should contact faculty members directly and inquire about the possibility of an appointment .
