First-year students and faculty members agree: FYS 129 seminars are a change from the ordinary. Students enjoy small-group learning while transitioning to college. Professors enjoy engaging with students on topics of mutual interest while receiving $1,500 for research support.
The Freshman Seminar Program is looking for tenured and tenure-track faculty interested in teaching these one-credit courses.
The courses are offered on a satisfactory/no credit basis, with enrollment capped at eighteen students. You may adapt your teaching specialty to this format or develop a freshman experience in an area of expertise that you rarely, if ever, teach. Focus on making it fun for both you and your students.
To submit a FYS 129 seminar proposal, or for more information on the seminars, visit the Freshman Seminar website. The deadline for proposal submissions is Monday, April 9.
