This year the College of Humanities and Sciences is introducing the “Dean’s Professor” program.

Many faculty in the College of Humanities and Sciences have expertise as interdisciplinary as our college’s name–they have interests and credentials beyond their academic home. To realize the Dean’s goal to bring faculty from throughout the college together to achieve a more interdisciplinary , we want to recognize and facilitate a faculty member’s ability to teach in more than one academic unit. 

To allow for more fluidity in the process of faculty teaching in different academic units, we have developed the Dean’s Professor program. Faculty that apply and are designated as Dean’s Professor will be able to teach in multiple units and will be called to do this as departmental needs align with their teaching expertise. Those awarded this designation will receive $1,000 in summer stipend for course development. 

To apply please complete this form by Nov. 1, 2024 - you will need to provide your CV and a statement that addresses 1) what existing courses that you could teach from other units and 2) topics you could develop into courses that would be of interest and align with the curricula of a unit other than your home unit.
