The Honors Academy Program is looking for full-time faculty teaching courses within the Core.  If you are interested in joining our team, please contact your Department Chair about the application process. 

The application process serves as a way to identify, recruit, and develop faculty to teach special population courses based on established criteria, as well as an equitable opportunity for all faculty to teach special population courses. By completing an application, you acknowledge an understanding that there is no additional compensation to teach with this special population, agree to teach on a rotating basis, align your course to the mission and goals of the special population program, and fulfill the program duties and responsibilities if accepted. Department Chairs will notify all applicants of decisions no later than the week before schedule building is complete.
