During the application process, faculty scholars outline a course that they would like to create or modify to include a leadership component. Leadership education faculty scholars develop a poster presentation that highlights their courses that is presented during Celebrate Week in the spring. Once admitted to the faculty scholars program, faculty members receive support to develop their courses. Selections for the program were made by Elena Kennedy, interim Faculty Fellow for Leadership Education, and Melanie Bullock Harris, Director of the Center for Leadership.
