Information for Faculty
Honors Faculty Fellow
Faculty Fellows are selected from tenure-track and tenured UMKC faculty. Fellows work closely with the Director of the Honors Program and Honors Program students. Normally, fellowships are for two years, and the stipend for this position is $2500 per year. During your fellowship you will :
- advise those honors students in your department or unit,
- participate in honors events each semester (often held at the Honors Living/Learning Community at Oak Street Hall),
- oversee one larger project, to be decided upon in conjunction with the students and the Director. Examples could include: overseeing the Honors Community Service Partnership; heading up the Honors Student Advisory Committee; advising the Lucerna editorial board; or pursuing a project of your own design.
- attend the weekly Honors Colloquium (Wednesday 3-3:50 during the academic year).
Faculty Fellows also have the option of teaching one of their regular classes as an honors-only section.
