The CLASP Fellows Program is a 2-year professional development fellowship for early to mid-career faculty who show potential for pedagogical leadership within their home institutions. Each cohort is interdisciplinary, offering the benefit of collaboration across areas of study as well as campuses. The overarching goal of the CLASP Fellows Program is to support faculty fellows as they deepen their skillset to apply and promote student-centered, writing-rich teaching methods central to Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) education.

Upon completion of the program, Fellows will have gained significant training in writing-based student-centered pedagogical strategies and will be able to translate these approaches into their classes. Fellows will also understand the impact of this pedagogy on their own students and be able to communicate with faculty peers the how and why of these teaching and learning strategies. Their classrooms and institutions will benefit by a heightened level of attention paid to how classes are crafted and facilitated as communicated through workshops offered through CLASP and informal faculty peer support on individual campuses. Finally, the Fellows Program also creates a global community of faculty who are deeply committed to student-centered pedagogical innovation.
