This session is based on a recently completed web-scraping study conducted by the presenters examining the aims of 220 faculty fellows programs in the United States (Colby et al., under review). The study identified five modalities that describe the primary purpose of fellows programs, including Honor, Learning, Advocacy, Extension, and Capacity. In this interactive session, these modalities are used heuristically to help participants plan to design, revitalize, or redesign a fellows program. Participants connect with others interested in designing and researching fellows programs that provide measurable return on investment and that raise the organizational development capacity of their institutions.
