Faculty Fellows
Faculty Fellows are nominated by Executive Officers (EOs) to represent their academic units to help implement the Faculty Workload application and enhance leadership capacity for data-supported decision making. The I-ADVANCE project adapts features from the Faculty Fellows program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst ADVANCE project (NSF#1824090) because of its focus on engaging departments.
Academic unit involvement through the Faculty Fellows is crucial for the development and integration across campus of the Faculty Workload application. The first cohort of Fellows is piloting and giving feedback on the application’s design and implementation in their home units.
Fellows were selected to represent a variety of disciplines and unit sizes to take into consideration how different units may interact with the application. More importantly, they have a contextual understanding of the challenges and opportunities of promoting accountability, transparency, expectations clarity, and credit of faculty work in their respective units.

We are excited to announce that the first cohort of six I-ADVANCE Faculty Fellows have been selected and are conducting work. Thank you to their units for supporting their nomination and application:
