Creighton University

The mentoring process at the heart of our Institute adapts principles and practices developed since 1998 by the Carnegie Foundation’s National Scholars Program.

All of our Institute Mentors have been National Carnegie Scholars; some have been lead Scholars, mentoring newer cohorts.

The Carnegie Scholars Program has brought together outstanding faculty, committed to investigating and documenting significant issues in the teaching and learning in their fields, with the explicit purpose of creating "a community of scholars, diverse in all the ways that matter, whose work will advance the profession of teaching and deepen student learning."

During their fellowship year, the central work of the Carnegie Scholars was to create and disseminate examples of the scholarship of teaching and learning that contribute to thought and practice in their fields.

During our Institute, each of our Mentors will consult with cohorts of faculty whose work-in-progress has been accepted through our Call for Scholars' Proposals.
