These fellowships will support faculty who need time, resources, and expertise to include pedagogical experimentation in their courses by providing a $1200 stipend, the opportunity to participate in the Summer 2017 Innovation Institute, May 15-26, 2017, and the opportunity to be part of a community of faculty fellows focused on pedagogical innovation.

We encourage applications that focus on a wide variety of pedagogical innovations and experimentation with an emphasis on:

  • Incorporating high-impact practices to achieve university essential learning outcomes;
  • Incorporating ePortfolios for reflection and integrative learning;
  • Incorporating other strategies for improving student learning and success that utilize new or evidence-based teaching practices and require significant course redesign;
• Vocation (http://sites.stedwards.edu/qep/): Design or redesign of courses to support our Quality Enhancement Plan, “Vocation: Discovering One’s Purpose in a Changing World” through the integration of assignments that encourage vocational exploration and reflection.
