Our mission at the Center for Faculty Excellence is to guide all University of Oklahoma faculty in every facet of career development, including teaching, community engagement, and research and creative activities, from their first year at OU through the full arc of their faculty career.
We invite you to visit Meacham Auditorium in OMU on Friday, April 17th, from 1-2pm, to hear Dr. Derek Bruff speak on Teaching and Learning in the Age of Generative AI. We will be hosting a meet and greet reception for him from 10-11:30am that morning in Room 223 of Wallace Old Science Hall, as well. We hope you can join us for this informative session.
The Developing Understanding and Engagement Together (DUET) Fellow Program serves OU students and faculty as pedagogical partners as they explore learning and teaching together. This program is inspired by the Students as Learners and Teachers (SaLT) Program at Bryn Mawr University
The program is seeking Faculty Fellow participants for Fall 2026, pending confirmation of funding for the program. Faculty Fellows will be paid $500 in supplemental pay, not including fringe, for successful completion in this semester-long program. Participation will include weekly meetings with a DUET Student Fellow, biweekly small group meetings, and two cohort meetings to launch and end the program. Any OU faculty with the Norman campus is welcome to participate in the DUET Fellow Program. Faculty should be teaching at least one course during the semester in which they are participating.
We strongly encourage you to apply with another faculty member within your program or department. We hope that having two faculty participants from the same area will provide participants with greater support as they consider their teaching practices within their specific discipline, while they also build connections across campus with other members of the cohort.
