Opportunities for Faculty

For faculty, Seventh College provides a venue for interdisciplinary collaboration and shared ideas around the climate crisis and other pressing global issues. In addition, just as the colleges serve as a welcoming community for students, they do the same for faculty as well, providing them with numerous opportunities to meet faculty and students across campus.

Here are a few ways for faculty to get involved:

• Serve on our Executive Committee (elections occur each Spring)
• Teach your own section of SYN 100
• Teach our First-Year Experience course or Transfer-Year Experience course
• Serve as a faculty mentor for the Triton Research and Experiential Learning Scholars (TRELS) program
• Present research in our First-Year Honors Seminar (occurs each Winter and Spring)
