The Changemaker Faculty Fellows Program at UC San Diego has named 16 faculty members in its 2020-22 cohort.
The two-year development program enables faculty members to build a network committed to addressing real-world challenges through their teaching. Fellows receive a $10,000 faculty development award over the two years.
Fellows are selected in a competitive review process after submitting a project proposal that illustrates its potential impact on student engagement, among other requirements.
Each fellow’s project gives students the opportunity to learn from and work with community members to make a difference in their region, as well as nationally and abroad.
Here are the 2020-22 fellows and their projects:
