概述

Established in 2022, the Honors Faculty Fellow designation is given to faculty who advance the mission of the 犹他谷大学 荣誉项目。 Faculty apply following the process below; if selected, each faculty will receive reassignment of 3 ICHE/ACHE per semester to participate in the leadership of the 荣誉项目。

The 荣誉项目’s mission is “to enhance the collegiate experience of highly motivated students through specialized academic and enrichment opportunities that cultivate personal, professional, and civic engagement。” We achieve this through diverse learning experiences in and out of the classroom that help students discover their potential for excellence, creativity, and innovation。

Our program has over 600 students who major in academic programs from across all colleges and schools。 Honors staff serves as our students’ mentors and secondary academic advisers who assist with curriculum planning, identification of undergraduate research, education abroad, and internship opportunities。

教员研究员机会

To offer faculty an opportunity to formalize their contributions to Honors beyond teaching HONR or General Education sections, we have created the Honors Faculty Fellow program。 参与该计划的荣誉学院研究员可能包括:

  • Teaching an Honors course (荣誉2000和/或荣誉2100) each semester of the fellowship in lieu of some department teaching assignment
  • Developing faculty-led research and education opportunities domestically or abroad for Honors students during the academic year or summer
  • Development and facilitation of Honors affinity groups (BIPOC, LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, first-generation, non-traditional, etc。) and other cohort programs (i。e。, career and grad school preparation for pre-med, pre-law, etc。 )
  • Honors co-curricular enrichment opportunities that promote faculty-student mentorships outside of the classroom, such as weekend excursions to experience Utah’s outdoor excellence, service-learning opportunities, and mentoring students to attend regional or national honors conferences
  • 鼓励荣誉学生参与并撰写荣誉学生期刊 数不清的
  • Developing new initiatives, such as coordinating a Legacies Faculty Group or involvement in regional or national honors opportunities
  • Assisting the program director and assistant director with developing capacity in strategic areas, including faculty development, student recruitment and retention, and curriculum assessment
  • 其他由教师建议并由荣誉主任批准的项目

Please note that Honors Faculty Fellows must contribute to at least two of the above listed areas during each semester of their appointment。 The anticipated time commitment is approximately 15% of the faculty member’s time, or 5-6 hours a week。 所有学院研究员也将在荣誉指导委员会任职。

Honors Faculty Fellows are also eligible to apply for professional development funding from the 荣誉项目 to support enhancement activities related to the tasks associated with the fellowship, such as attending workshops or conferences related to their research and teaching, developing course materials, etc。 Faculty Fellows may apply for up to $1,000/semester to support such activities。

所有终身教职或即将获得终身教职的UVU教师都有资格申请。

Fellows agree to serve a one-year appointment with the possibility for renewal based on project goals and measures。 Fellows will establish project goals and measures in collaboration with their chair and the Honors Director at the beginning of the fellowship period。
