The University Honors Program has awarded 13 Honors Faculty Fellowships to the talented faculty members below, who all participated in the Honors Experiential Learning Collaborative workshop series in fall 2025 and were then selected through a competitive application process for this three-year fellowship.
In addition to providing time and funding for the Honors Faculty Fellows to lead honors experiential-learning courses over a three-year period, the goals of establishing this fellowship are to bring to life the ideas of imaginative and innovative USU faculty; create space for cross-disciplinary pedagogical conversation and collaboration; develop a thoughtful curriculum of applied learning for honors students; empower faculty to build new courses and partnerships that benefit their departments, colleges, and campuses; and prepare future groups of interested faculty to apply for this three-year Honors Faculty Fellowship.
In support of these goals, each Fellow will teach at least one honors course annually and interact regularly with the honors student community. Below is the roster of Honors Faculty Fellows, including the titles of the honors courses they have agreed to teach in the first year of the fellowship.
To learn more about how to become an Honors Faculty Fellow, consider applying to join the fall 2026 Honors Experiential Learning Collaborative.
