Dean’s Faculty Teaching Fellows

The Dean’s Faculty Teaching Fellowship recognizes and supports faculty who demonstrate excellence and innovation in teaching, a strong commitment to student success, and leadership in advancing the College’s teaching mission. Teaching fellows design and implement a focused teaching initiative during the academic year and share effective strategies, resources, and insights with colleagues across CHHS. Through this fellowship, the College invests in faculty who strengthen teaching culture, enhance student learning, and contribute to sustained teaching excellence.

The College may support up to two Dean’s Faculty Teaching Fellows each academic year. The Fellowship includes a stipend provided as academic year supplemental pay.
