Faculty Fellows
What is it?
The Faculty fellows create a space for students where pertinent issues are discussed, thinking and reasoning are sharpened, and love for truth is cultivated.
Why do it?
- To cultivate a hospitable space where gracious conversation occurs around difficult issues.
- To work with a fellow faculty member, of a different discipline, to model critical thought and gracious interaction for students.
- To co-host dinner gatherings for Fellowship of Philosophers (FoPs) once per month (dinner reimbursed by T2I)
- To co-host on campus meetings for FoPs once per month
- To develop a mentorship/discipleship connection with identified Wandering Philosopher(s) from within one’s given FoP by meeting with that student one-on-one once per month
- To provide oversight and guidance at monthly Spring “Coffee House Forums” hosted by Wandering Philosophers
Who is it for?
- Faculty wanting to mentor, disciple, and lead a specific set of students in critical thinking and gracious impact regarding real-world issues.
- Faculty willing to commit to one academic year in such a capacity.
