Call for Educational Equity Mini-Fellowships

Open Application Period: Rolling applications will be accepted during the 2024-2025 academic year until all 20 mini fellowships have been awarded.

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) in partnership with Academic Affairs and with generous funding from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence program is inviting Faculty and Graduate Student Instructors to apply for the CTL 2024-2025 Educational Equity Mini-Fellowship. This initiative seeks to involve UNM faculty and Graduate Student Instructors in professional development opportunities that focus upon evidence-based strategies for equity in higher education and facilitates an opportunity to implement strategies and receive rapid feedback on that implementation. Our goal is to support UNM faculty and programs in framing equity as central to their success as educators. Successful completion of the Mini-Fellowship includes a stipend of $500. Proposals will be submitted here. Upon approval, faculty and GA instructors will be contacted to arrange details and deliverables.

Instructors will be asked to:

  • Attend at least two equity-focused workshops offered through CTL and/or different UNM campus units.
  • Participate in CTL Mid-Semester Student Feedback or participate in a formative Peer Observation of Teaching session in order to receive feedback on implementation. Scheduling for both of these services should be arranged directly with CTL.
  • Provide a final reflection statement and feedback on this equity-focused opportunity for professional development.

If you have questions about the requirements and submission process, please do not hesitate to contact CTL Teaching Support: teachingsupport@ctl.edu
