Emerge Faculty Fellows
In June of 2014, the College of Education and Professional Studies named a new group of faculty members as Emerge Faculty Fellows. The faculty members are participating in the CEPS Emerge Experience in order to develop high-impact learning activities including travel study, community-based projects, faculty-student research, capstone experiences, and experiential learning. The activities developed will be implemented during the 2014-2015 academic year.
