With ASSETT joining the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), we are able to expand the Faculty Fellows program offering to all campus colleges and schools. The campus-wide Faculty Fellows Program is a collaborative community of faculty who address teaching and learningÌýchallenges within their individual departments. With support from ASSETT and CTL staff, Fellows provide leadership and guidance by facilitating constructive conversations, workshops, or other events aimed at identifying, clarifying, and reducing barriers within their departments. Fellows serve as mentors, leaders, and liaisons to promote and prioritize continuous improvement of the undergraduate learning experience.

During Fall 2025, faculty fellows will attend a seminar and engage with a cohort ofÌýinterdisciplinaryÌýcolleagues around emergent topics of interest. At the end of this seminar, participants will submit a joint proposal to actively address their identified initiative in Spring 2026. ParticipantsÌýwill carry out their proposed projects by engaging and sharing results with their departments and the wider campus community.ÌýFellowships require a one-year commitment and include a $3000 professional development award upon completion of their project.ÌýA cohort of up to 12 Fellows will be invited to participate. The seminar will consist of 8 meetings with the schedule being determined by participants availability and preference for in-person or synchronously on Zoom.

"The best part of being a Faculty Fellow, to me, has been the wonderful cross-disciplinary discussions with colleagues from across the campus. It made me realize how much we have in common even when our disciplines seem like they are opposites. Talking about ways of promoting or assessing critical thinking or discussing how to assess if our assignments meet learning goals is one kind of conversation between a bunch of people who teach the same subject. It is entirely different in surprising and enlightening ways when you put together a historian, a mathematician, a biologist, and a writing instructor, for instance."

-- Nicole Jobin, 2017–18 Faculty Fellow
