The Summer Fellow Program offers an unparalleled opportunity for full-time tenured or tenure track faculty to learn about the role and function of the Coordination Board by serving alongside Board staff members in the Board's Austin office. Fellows will be given the opportunity to select a special project from a list of potential projects developed by the Coordinating Board which will be performed under staff supervision. Depending on the nature of the project, a second trip to Austin for a period of up to one week may be required. Financial assistance is provided for Summer Fellows through the Texas Council of Faculty Senates with the amount to be approved by the Executive Committee. Applicants are urged to seek additional support from their home institution.
