Daniels Fund Faculty Fellowships
The Daniels Fund Fellows program at the University of Wyoming (UW) recruits all faculty, staff, and administrative personnel across campus to participate in advancing the mission of the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative (DFEI) Collegiate Program, which is to engage students and university stakeholders through principle-based ethics education and thereby prepare them to make ethical decisions in their personal and professional lives. The Daniels Fund Faculty Fellowship Program promotes the idea that ethics is an important discussion topic in all disciplines and that timeless ethical principles (e.g., integrity, respect, fairness)—when internalized—can guide individuals toward ethical decisions. Each academic year, approximately 5 UW faculty and/or professional staff are selected for this two-year fellowship, which comes with a $2,500 annual stipend (or $5,000 total over the entire fellowship period).
Fellowship Basics
Daniels Fund Faculty Fellows are primarily expected to advance the DFEI mission by developing a teaching activity integrating the DFEI principles (see Appendix A).
Past Faculty Fellow developments:
- DFEI-based class modules

Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellowships
The Entrepreneurship Fellows program at the University of Wyoming (UW) supported by funds from the Wyoming Innovation Partnership (WIP)—invites applications across the Wyoming higher education system for a one-year Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellowship. This one-year fellowship program promotes entrepreneurial thinking in higher education across the state and creates a testing ground for identifying best practices in entrepreneurship education. Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellows create and embed curricular modules designed to help students within their (non-business) discipline develop entrepreneurial mindsets. Each academic year, approximately 10 faculty fellows are selected for this one-year fellowship, which comes with a $4,000 stipend and the designation as an Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellow.
Fellowship Basics
Fellows will work with UW COB entrepreneurship faculty to develop and deploy their module comprised of entrepreneurship content and teaching activities for their discipline. Additionally, fellows will work with staff from the Ellbogen Center for Teaching and Learning (ECTL) to develop methodology to evaluate their teaching module. Throughout the one-year period, fellows meet on a semi-regular basis to discuss and identify best teaching practices based on their own classroom experiences.
