Programs
Faculty Fellow Program
We are in the process of restructuring our faculty fellows program to ensure we are meeting the goals of CEMaST. The process will consist of colleague nominations and self-nominations each spring for program participation in the following academic year. Faculty fellows will benefit from the program by having increased research and/or outreach collaboration opportunities, access to educational resources, and connections with existing K-12 partnerships. Interested in being a fellow or nominating a CPP colleague? Check out the nomination form!
