Faculty Fellows Program

RIT’s Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) promotes excellence in teaching and the creation of exceptional learning experiences by championing an effective and innovative teaching culture across the University.

The Center for Teaching and Learning Faculty Fellows Program at RIT is designed to provide full-time faculty with leadership opportunities in advancing RIT’s strategic goals in the area of teaching and learning. In offering this new program, we seek to align faculty expertise as teaching practitioners closely with the work of the new Center for Teaching and Learning. Faculty Fellows will work with RIT faculty to support their development of a range of pedagogies and teaching strategies.

The CTL Fellows Program offers faculty opportunities to partner with the Center for Teaching and Learning in two new roles:

1. “Discipline Fellows”: Advancing teaching excellence within the college-based disciplines (Humanities/Social Sciences, Science/Health Sciences, Engineering, Business, The Arts, Computing/Technology)
2. “Fellows of Strategic Priorities”: Advancing key strategic priorities which span the university (specifically for this inaugural round, two priorities - Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Gateway Course Student Success, and Generative AI)
