Comments from Former Fellows

Please tell the Provost and all the higher-ups that this program goes far beyond the Fellowship year but is a significant long-term investment in us as teachers. The thoughts and conversations coming out of this program will continue to affect my teaching and my life at the University for many years to come. From the point of view of a faculty member who has taught at three very different institutions, this is by far the strongest feeling I have ever gotten that the institution was supporting me and investing in me. It has greatly affected the quality of my life at U.Va., and I would think that those interested in faculty retention should know that programs like this one make U.Va. “feel” truly different, a place one would want to stay.
