Faculty Fellows Program

The Faculty Fellows Program orients new faculty to the University and assists them in improving their teaching skills. The Program relies almost entirely on senior faculty members with distinguished records as educators, employing them to instruct new faculty members about University of Washington students, effective teaching methods and techniques for balancing the demands of successful teaching and research.

Due to the reduced number of new hires and eligible faculty participants, the Faculty Fellows Program will not be held this fall. Faculty Fellows will again be offered in September 2010. The UW Teaching Academy will continue to offer support to our new colleagues through a series of workshops based off the week-long program. In addition, a number of senior faculty heavily involved in the program will be available for any questions or concerns as you begin your new position at the University of Washington.
