Meet the Innovation Fellows
Innovation Fellows are faculty who participate in the Innovate@ Symposia that are offered each year. Launched in summer 2016, these symposia are unique workshops that allow faculty to explore different ways of using a wide spectrum of instructional tools and then plan a targeted implementation during the academic year.
Participating faculty become part of the Innovation Fellow think tank and are the front line for discussing new instructional innovations and for creating a roadmap for sustainable innovations at UMass Amherst. These faculty are also willing to be contacted by faculty throughout the year to talk about instructional technologies and to promote their use in teaching and research.
