Lilly Teaching Fellows

his competitive award program, established in 1986, enables promising junior faculty to cultivate teaching excellence in a special year-long collaboration. Each year eight to ten teaching fellows are selected to work closely with the Center For Teaching (CFT) on individual projects which typically involve developing or redesigning a course.

The fellows assess their teaching and their students' learning through classroom visits, reviewing of course materials, and student feedback. Lilly Teaching Fellows attend a bi-weekly seminar on college teaching organized by the CFT, and work with a senior faculty "mentor" to anticipate many of the challenges and rewards of teaching here at the University.  The year features three signature aspects: an annual retreat, bi-weekly seminars on college teaching, and the Celebration of Teaching Dinner.

The Fellows' home departments receive stipends to defray the costs of release time for one course equivalent each semester.
