Each group has included faculty from departments all over the campus who meet together regularly throughout the academic year and choose a couple of specific projects or topics to work on. The Fellows have invariably accomplished more than they expected and felt enriched by the opportunity to hold sustained conversations with other dedicated teachers from different colleges and departments. In April each of its first three years, the Fellows program sponsored Undergraduate Education Day, an event which involved many classes in addressing ways to improve the undergraduate academic experience. In addition, they will continue to sponsor and administer The Departmental Excellence in Teaching Award. Interested faculty members at any stage of their careers may benefit from the lively exploration and discussion of key issues related to teaching.
Large classes are a continuing challenge.
