Mission and Ministry offering faculty fellowships

The Office of Mission and Ministry is inviting proposals for its third cohort in the Faculty Mission Integration Fellowship program (FMIF). By providing stipends of $1,500 per semester, or $3,000 per year, the fellowship enables faculty to explore how - by drawing on the resources of our Ignatian heritage - we might integrate the mission more deeply into Marquette University. Proposals should result in programming that can benefit faculty, staff or students in integrating the mission more deeply into some dimension of our campus life.

Accepted proposals from recent years include the following: using Ignatian discernment to navigate career diversity in the Humanities; workshops to help TAs incorporate the Jesuit Mission into Foundations level core courses; programming to foster a sense of belonging among undergraduates in health care; strengthening a school's abilities to employ the Ignatian Pedagogy Paradigm; and creating a seminar series for faculty wishing to explore Ignatian teaching and service. The range of potential topics is quite wide.

Submissions for the group beginning in October are due Monday, Sept. 30. For proposal guidelines, please contact Fr. Jim Pribek, S.J.
