AAE Associate Professor Karen Marais selected for Teaching for Tomorrow Fellowship

AAE Associate Professor Karen Marais selected for a Teaching for Tomorrow Fellowship. The program was established by the Purdue Classes of 1944 and 1945 to foster continued excellence of teaching and learning, and to facilitate the development of the teaching potential of the faculty. Teaching for Tomorrow recognizes tenure track or clinical junior faculty members who are committed to improving their teaching at Purdue and senior faculty members for their long-term contributions to teaching and mentoring.

Dr. Marais has been selected as one of three Senior Fellows for the 2016-2017 academic year. In that role she will serve as a mentor to junior faculty. This includes helping them craft a plan that will enable them to grow as educators, observing them in the classroom or lab setting and providing feedback, and participating in panel discussions.

The Teaching for Tomorrow program is administered by Purdue’s Center for Instructional Excellence (CIE). Recipients are nominated by their college and selected by a CIE committee.
