Selected from a competitive field of applicants, these 10 faculty members represent a wide range of disciplines and interests in advancing equity and inclusiveness on the UMass Amherst campus. As TIDE Ambassadors, they support the university’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts by sharing what they learn through the fellowship in their programs, departments or colleges and by supporting the CTL’s DEI programming.
Throughout the fellowship year, these faculty fellows will have the opportunity to learn new teaching strategies, new frameworks for course designs and collaborate with colleagues from diverse disciplines.
