Submit a proposal to become a CITL Faculty Fellow
The LTS Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning invites you to submit a proposal to partner with CITL on advancing your course pedagogy. Proposals for the fall 2025 semester are due by Sunday, May 18th. We will review all submitted proposals and have a response to you by mid June.
CITL Faculty Fellowships
CITL Faculty Fellowships will be offered to accepted proposals in one of the six following areas that require a substantial investment of time (e.g., a significant course redesign, integration of an innovative project into the course, adoption of a wholly new teaching approach, etc):
- “Inquiry-based Learning.” Fellows will receive support developing inquiry-based approaches, questions, and projects that spark curiosity, motivate learning, reward effective communication, and support guided reflection.
- “Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Classroom.” Fellows will receive support identifying and selecting instructional approaches and assessments that help their students build the critical thinking skills and information/data/media literacy competencies related to the arrival of this technology into educational and working environments.
- “Cross-Disciplinary Course Moments” Fellows will partner with a Lehigh faculty colleague to plan and implement cross-disciplinary moments in an existing course. (Note: as this fellowship is partly funded by grant dollars from the Mellon “Humanities Lab” initiative, priority will be given to initiatives that connect humanities faculty with faculty outside the humanities).
- “Integrating XR/VR technologies in your Courses” Fellows will receive support in teaching, demonstrating, and exposing students to content through the use of specialized platforms such as 3D model labs, virtual classrooms/meeting spaces, VR simulations, design and drafting tools, as well as other immersive experiential learning resources.
- “Writing Across the Curriculum.” Fellows will receive support to incorporate meaningful writing assignments into their courses. We particularly invite proposals related to writing assignments with multiple revisions that involve peer-to-peer learning and review.
- “Integrating Data Visualization Strategies.” Fellows will receive support on effectively using data visualization to enhance student comprehension of data and data storytelling. This support includes training on the use of visualization tools (e.g., GIS software, R & Python programming languages), fostering concepts of data literacy, and applying critical thinking approaches.
CITL Faculty Fellows receive priority LTS staff support and have access to specialized technologies as needed to support their instructional approaches. CITL Faculty Fellows are asked to present at CITL events and/or to facilitate discussions with CITL-sponsored communities of practice.
