About this fund
The Faculty Innovation Program supports the development of new courses, teaching tools, and instructional methods. Gifts underwrite course design, visiting practitioners, and the release time faculty need to build learning experiences that keep pace with a changing field.
Teaching that keeps up with the field
A field changes faster than a curriculum does. New methods, new evidence, new questions about technology and practice arrive every year — and the classroom has to keep up.
This fund gives faculty the time and resources to redesign a course, pilot a new format, or bring a visiting practitioner into the room where students learn.
"The release time let me rebuild the course around what students actually need to know now, not what the field said five years ago."
