• Scholarship Fellows Program

    The Scholarship Fellows program is designed exclusively to support pre-tenure full-time faculty along their journey to tenure. In this year-long fellowship, the Fellow is provided with support, structure, resources, and mentoring to create and submit a scholarly manuscript at the conclusion of the year. Fellows share their progress and experience with the academic community at Park periodically throughout the fellowship year. Two Fellowships are available for pre-tenure full-time faculty who wish to produce a manuscript on their disciplinary research or who wish to produce a manuscript on teaching-related research within their discipline or applicable across disciplines (i.e., the scholarship of teaching and learning).
