Responsibilities

Fellows will work with support from the staff of the Faculty Development Center to:

• Develop and teach two workshops (or comparable experiences and activities) on a select focus area (see below for details)
• Serve as faculty organizer of an FDC-sponsored faculty learning community or facilitator of a monthly meeting of the FDC-sponsored Reflective Teaching Community 
• Develop materials in support of activities that promote the goals of a specific fellowship focus area
• Provide faculty consultations and office hours to support faculty on focus area
• Contribute leadership to university conversations about issues and opportunities that impact the focus area

Fellowships may last for a semester or a year with the anticipation that the fellows will develop and facilitate at least one (for semester-long fellowships) or two (for year-long fellowships) substantial faculty development experiences.

Additionally, faculty fellows will support faculty professional development efforts through consultations scheduled by appointment.  It is anticipated that the time commitment for these activities will require an average of three hours of work per week.
