The College Fellows Program at CPCC is aimed at finding new ways to
enhance learning by providing carefully selected full-time faculty and
professional staff with opportunities to pursue both pure and applied
research with a clear benefit to the college. There are now three College
Fellows tracks: the Learning Fellows track, Applied Research
track, and Community Fellow track. As our institution evolves into a learning college,
faculty and professional staff now have these opportunities to expand upon
traditional approaches to learning. The College Fellows Program will match
intellectual innovation with academic need. Applications will be evaluated
on a project’s perceived benefit to students and faculty, on the project’s
originality and on its intellectual merit.
This application will ask what the applicant intends to study/create, the
length of the project and the benefits expected, among other questions. The
applicant also will be required to demonstrate familiarity with the intended
area of study and his / her readiness to proceed, how the project / product
will be delivered and the learning outcomes needed to measure instructional
effectiveness. The project / product should also demonstrate how it will be
able to be replicated in other areas, where appropriate. Special
consideration will be given to those projects addressing “learning centered”
initiatives. Past fellows will become mentors for new fellows and assume a
designated responsibility for maintaining the College Fellows Program.
The College Fellows Program will offer selected full-time faculty and
professional staff compensated time to re-engage with their disciplines and
to explore and re-investigate what inspired us to become learners in the
first place. Rekindling this creative spark is part and parcel of the very
same process that drives the entrepreneurial spirit so vital to our
college’s mission. Fellows will be required to share new information and
teaching strategies with the CPCC family via workshops, special
presentations, or publication with the CPCC Press, with the Futures
Institute and with other professional and trade journals and media outlets.
Participating fellows will be designated, for example, a “2006 College
Fellow,” and this designation may be included on CPCC business cards,
division / department listings and in our college catalog.
The College Fellows Committee, comprised of full-time faculty,
will evaluate
applications and recommend final selections to the Vice President of Instruction.
