Fellowship Applications for Spring 2009

Fellowship applications for the QEP Faculty Development Seminar for spring 2009 are now being accepted.  As part of the University of Southern Mississippi’s Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Finding a Voice: Improving Oral and Written Competencies, Southern Miss faculty have the opportunity to participate in a faculty development seminar designed to enhance student learning outcomes in oral and written communication in content courses across disciplines.  The 10-week seminar focuses on the philosophical elements of pedagogical development, as well as the practical planning and production of oral and written components in the classroom.  Faculty members teaching general education classes, including capstone courses, are especially encouraged to apply.

Eight faculty members will be selected to participate in each section of the seminar. Upon completion of seminar requirements, participants receive either a $1500 stipend or reassigned time. (For faculty electing reassigned time, departments will be reimbursed $1500.) In addition, each participant's department receives a $500 payment of unrestricted funds.

The deadline for submitting applications is September 25, 2008. Late applications will be considered on a space-available basis.
