Three professors, two of whom are faculty in the Maxwell School, have been named Meredith Professor Faculty Fellows. Part of the Laura J. and L. Douglas Meredith Professorship Program, the Faculty Fellows program was launched this year. Fellows will work in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE) and the associate provost for academic programs to address teaching topics identified by the vice chancellor, provost and chief academic officer.

Mark Brockway, assistant teaching professor of political science

Focusing on course redesign, Brockway will provide faculty with resources and support to help them foster in-class student engagement. Brockway plans to develop a database of materials for workshops that engage individuals and groups in active learning related to course concepts. The database will provide instructors with adaptable instructional templates that can help minimize the cost of course redesign and facilitate impactful teaching approaches. Resources will be posted on the CTLE website.

Zach Huitink, associate teaching professor of public administration and international affairs

Huitink will focus on online teaching and pedagogy with activities including the development of online teaching and onboarding programs for faculty; the establishment of an online teaching affinity group for community building and knowledge transfer; and the creation of an online teaching resource library. Huitink’s work will support faculty in transitioning to, and advancing in, online teaching.
