Apply Faculty Fellowships
The Center for Academic Innovation launched three Faculty Fellow opportunities in 2024/25.
These faculty fellowships are intended to encourage exploration, study, and sharing of pedagogical approaches and highlight the teaching excellence of A&M-San Antonio faculty members. CAI Faculty Fellows are recognized campus leaders who work closely with CAI’s executive director to ensure that Center programming is aligned and engages with the topics, ideas, questions shared by A&M-San Antonio faculty.
- The first two Faculty Fellowships for 2024/25 are focused on Quantitative Reasoning to enhance the campus’ knowledge and understanding of the Qualitative Enhancement Plan (QEP).
- The third Faculty Fellowship for 2024/25 focuses on strategic planning for the Center, including communicative strategies, the formation of a Faculty Advisory Board, and the establishment of faculty coaching and well-being programs.
All full-time tenured and tenure-track faculty who have a demonstrated commitment to faculty success and Center initiatives are encouraged to apply for future fellowship opportunities. Fellowships are a 1-year appointment, with the opportunity for renewal. For more information, please contact dgavin@tamusa.edu.
