Faculty Teaching Fellowships

Faculty teaching fellowships are available for redesigning courses and for planning new on- and off-campus courses that span all academic divisions. Faculty participate in a cohort and are supported by the Character Hub throughout this process. For each course, at least 30% of the material is crafted to explore character and promote its development.
