The Lawrence Fellows in the Liberal Arts and Sciences program has two primary goals. First, to help develop the professoriate of the future by providing persons who have recently finished their graduate degrees with mentoring, teaching opportunities, and research collaborations that will better prepare them for careers at selective liberal arts colleges. Second, to bring young scholars to campus who will enrich student learning, share new research directions being pursued at distinguished graduate programs, collaborate with faculty on research and performance, and further strengthen the ability of Lawrence University to offer one-on-one learning experiences for all students.
The program was initiated in 2005 with the hiring of eight Fellows for the 2005-06 academic year. Fellows are appointed for two years, during which they teach courses, offer individualized instruction opportunities to students, and continue their professional activities as scholars and/or performers. A unique aspect of the program is its scale and breadth. All fields represented by departments or interdisciplinary programs are eligible to apply for Fellows.
