The Teaching Fellows Program pairs students with faculty for experience in course design/development, small group facilitation, and/or content delivery. Faculty benefit by enhancing their students’ learning and gaining new perspectives on their courses, while Fellows gain valuable preparation for careers in education, coaching, leadership, professional training, or graduate teaching assistantships.
