Fellowship participants have identified an area of exploration and are iteratively refining their plans for implementation within their UMN courses. Fellows will be disseminating findings at the University in some form and are encouraged to contribute to scholarly publication and/or presentations beyond the University of Minnesota. All of these activities contribute to organizational awareness in order to bring effective practices back to the University community. Teaching Support has funded 16 fellows with 14 projects from all the University of Minnesota system campuses to be part of this collaborative fellowship program.
Fellows will address the question
