The Wakonse Fellowship in Arizona brings together faculty and teaching and learning professionals from Arizona's higher education institions who recognize and are devoted to this inspirational aspect of the teaching and learning process. In its initial eight years, Wakonse Arizona has brought together almost 400 faculty from the three universities and community colleges to discuss a variety of issues and ideas regarding teaching and learning. The defining moment for a Wakonse member is a conference that brings new members together to discuss issues and share ideas and developments regarding higher education. In Arizona, the conference is held at Camp Tontozona , beginning on a late Thursday afternoon and ending before noon on Sunday. This year's conference will be held from May 17th to May 20th.
Current members exhibit considerable diversity.
Teaching experience ranges from only a couple of years to well over 30. We have a Regents' professor and others who have distinguished careers as researchers and as teachers. But it's not a question of how good a teacher you are, rather it is how committed you are to learning from others, improving yourself, and sharing with others.
