Experiential Learning Fellows
The Experiential Learning Fellows (ELF) program aims to build campus culture around career-connected high-impact learning – a key objective of the Academic Master Plan and Discovery Advantage. The program helps faculty create or enhance experiential learning opportunities for students, and then share insights with colleagues.
With support from the Lumina Foundation, ELF will feature three semester-long programs focused on various high-impact teaching practices:
- Fall 2026 will focus on community-engaged teaching, integrating meaningful community partnerships into learning experiences.
- Spring 2027 will focus on Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs), engaging students in an authentic scholarly or creative project within a course.
- Fall 2027 will be open to all forms of experiential learning.
Each term, a cohort of 8-10 faculty will come together to reflect on their teaching, develop new approaches, and work alongside colleagues who are exploring similar questions in different ways. Tenure-track, tenured, and full-time teaching (NTT) faculty members in Rutgers – New Brunswick schools are eligible to apply.
ELF complements the Faculty Career Fellows program offered by the Office of Career Exploration and Success, as well as the Provost’s Teaching Fellows program, by providing specific focus on different forms of experiential learning.
