The  Center for Teaching & Learning (CTL) has selected our very own Assistant Professor Rob Williams for the 2025-26 Lilly Fellows for Teaching Excellence -- a testament to his passion for teaching and a reflection of his commitment to academic leadership. 

During their fellowship year, participants will attend regular seminars on pedagogy, develop a new course or substantially redesign an existing one, complete a teaching portfolio that includes teaching reflections and activities adapted to the course, and work collaboratively to anticipate many of the challenges and rewards of faculty life at UMass Amherst.
