Apply here by December 8, 2025

CETLL invites applications for Faculty Fellows to participate in a seminar on pedagogical approaches to career-connected learning where they will learn about approaches to “career competencies,” ways to integrate skills-building into course goals (and the role of faculty in these efforts), and pedagogical strategies to engage students in structured reflection to deepen their ideas of their futures, in work settings and beyond.  

Faculty Fellows will have the opportunity to work on a teaching-related project (e.g. developing an assignment, syllabus revision, in-class activities) that supports students to build connection between experiences in and outside the classroom as they think about their post-college lives.  

Who should apply?  

• We encourage applications from QC faculty members who want to incorporate experiential learning and/or engage students to apply their academic work to settings beyond the classroom.  

• We are particularly interested in participants who are pre-tenure and want to learn about ways to integrate career-connected learning in their course learning goals or mid-career faculty who would like the opportunity to re-engage with their teaching. 

• No expertise or previous training is necessary, and all disciplines are welcome. The seminar will be a chance to talk about teaching and learn from peers; it will be especially welcoming to participants who are interested in being more comfortable with their teaching. 

Faculty fellows will commit to: 

• Attend 4 in-person seminar meetings on February 9, February 23, March 9, and April 27 during free hour (12:15-1:30 p.m.) 

• Attend 1 in-person workshop on March 23 (12:15-1:30 p.m.) 

• Review seminar materials as assigned 

• Develop and share a teaching resource and brief reflection (250-500 words) by June 1, 2026 

• Contribute materials to the CETLL Academic Commons site for viewing/use by other QC faculty

Upon completion of all seminar activities, Faculty Fellows will receive a stipend of $1000.  

Interested faculty members should fill out this short form of interest by December 8th. All applicants will be notified of their status by December 19th.
