Picking a gift for a teaching fellow
A teaching fellow is usually a graduate student who runs discussion sections, grades papers and holds office hours while working toward their own degree. They're often the person students actually email at midnight, and they spend a lot of their week on campus with very little sleep. A gift that acknowledges that dual role, student and instructor at once, tends to land well. Put their name on a tee or hoodie they can wear to the lab, the library or the department coffee run. Add the department, the course number or the year of their fellowship if you know it, so the design reflects their real work. A mug for the desk makes sense too, since most fellows run on coffee and stacks of essays. If the gift is for a cohort or a whole department, the Team Shop lets you print one design with every fellow's name on their own shirt.
Teaching Fellow gift questions
Can I add a department or course to a teaching fellow shirt?
Yes. Many designs have a second line. Type the department, subject or course number there and check the preview before you order.
Is a teaching fellow the same as a teaching assistant?
The titles overlap and vary by school, so the exact meaning depends on the institution. If you're unsure which title they hold, use their own wording in the text box.
What's a good gift for a teaching fellow who's almost finished?
A hoodie or mug with their name and the year they finish is a nice way to mark the end of a long stretch of grading and office hours.
Can I order shirts for every fellow in a department?
Yes. Use the Team Shop: choose one design, paste a list of names, and pick a size for each person. Each shirt prints with its own name.
What sizes do the teaching fellow shirts come in?
Adult tees come in S to 3XL. Hoodies, kids tees and onesies list their own sizes on each product page.
How long does a teaching fellow gift take to arrive?
Each order is printed after you place it, in 2 to 4 business days, then ships by ground in 3 to 5 business days. The product page shows the delivery window for today's orders.
What if the print has a mistake?
If we print something different from the preview you approved, or it arrives damaged, we reprint it free.
