Fellowships recognize USI faculty expertise
|
The inaugural class of University of Southern Indiana Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence Fellows includes 10 USI faculty members representing diverse areas of interest and expertise. The new fellows, selected by a campus committee, will provide workshops for the USI community in the spring. They also will serve as resources for other faculty members and will form the CTLE Advisory Board, guiding the program and gathering information about faculty interest in additional areas of professional development. “The fellows have distinguished themselves on campus in the various types of fellowships they have received, and the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence is delighted to be able to use their expertise for professional development workshops in those areas,” said Dr. Scott Gordon, CTLE associate director and associate dean of the Pott School of Science and Engineering. “We’re also excited to be able to use them as the CTLE Advisory Board - to be eyes and ears as far as what’s needed and wanted for professional development.” Recipients receive one-year renewable fellowships, and new fellows will be announced in July. Fellows also receive a certificate and a $500 stipend for professional development. 2003-04 CTLE Fellows · Writing Fellow – Dr. Karen Bishop, assistant professor of English, director of composition · Teaching Roundtables Fellow – Dr. John Gottcent, professor of English, University Core director · Learning Styles Fellow – Sandra Hermann, instructor in English · RISC Fellow - Dr. Leigh Anne Howard, assistant professor of communications · Assessment Fellow – Dr. Aimee Luebben, program director and professor of Occupational Therapy · Diversity Issues Fellow – Gary May, associate professor of social work · Teaching with Technology Fellow – Craig McCarron, instructor in mathematics · Service Learning Fellow – Dr. Iris Phillips, assistant professor of social work · Department Chair Issues Fellow – Dr. Chuck Price, chair of the Department of Teacher Education · RISC Fellow – Dr. Kent Scheller, assistant professor of physics More information about the USI Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence is available on the Web: www.usi.edu/ctle/index.asp. |
