Daniels Fund Faculty Fellowships

Daniels Fund Ethics InitiativeThe 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).

Entrepreneurship Faculty Fellowships

WIP logoThe 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.

Fellows are selected by a committee composed of Chase Thiel, Bill Daniels Chair of Business Ethics; Chris Haller, Director of the Center for Principle-Based Leadership and Ethics; and Jeff Covin, Wyoming Excellence Chair, Professor of Management. 

Application Evaluation Criteria: 

  1. The extent to which entrepreneurship curriculum is needed in the discipline/course
  2. Potential benefit to students
  3. Module originality
  4. Evaluation quality
  5. Overall proposal quality

Fellows will present their course module as part of the annual retreat in the summer, as well as prepare a short-written report describing their teaching module. Further, the fellows will draft annual best practices and make recommendations on entrepreneurship education for archival.
