Our mission at the Center for Faculty Excellence is to guide all University of Oklahoma faculty in every facet of career development, including teaching, community engagement, and research and creative activities, from their first year at OU through the full arc of their faculty career.
Please join us in bidding a fond farewell to our Director, Megan Elwood Madden, on May 12th. We will have room 223 in Wallace Old Science Hall set up from 2-4pm for anyone that wants to swing by and deliver their personal well wishes. We hope to see you there!
We would like to welcome Dr. Wayne Riggs as the new Director of the Center for Faculty Excellence. Dr. Riggs is a professor in the Philosophy Department and affiliate faculty in the Women’s and Gender Studies Department at OU. We wish Dr. Megan Elwood Madden well on her new endeavors and thank her for her valuable contributions to CFE and the University.
DUET Faculty Fellow Applications Due Friday, May 2nd, 2025
The Developing Understanding and Engagement Together (DUET) Fellow Program serves OU students and faculty as pedagogical partners as they explore learning and teaching together. This program is inspired by the Students as Learners and Teachers (SaLT) Program at Bryn Mawr University.
Faculty Fellows will be paid $500 in supplemental pay, not including fringe, for successful completion in this semester-long program. Participation will include weekly meetings with a DUET Student Fellow, biweekly small group meetings, and two cohort meetings to launch and end the program. Any OU faculty member with the Norman campus is welcome to participate in the DUET Fellow Program. Faculty should be teaching at least one course during the semester in which they are participating.
We strongly encourage you to apply with another faculty member within your program or department. We hope that having two faculty participants from the same area will provide participants with greater support as they consider their teaching practices within their specific discipline, while they also build connections across campus with other members of the cohort.
Apply to be a DUET Faculty Fellow.
Contact M. Geneva Murray, geneva.murray@ou.edu with questions.
