Applications Open for Undergraduate Core Curricular Fellowships
04/29/2022
The University Core is pleased to announce year two of a new SLU undergraduate fellowship program: the Undergraduate Core Curricular Fellows program.
Starting in the Fall 2022 semester, Saint Louis University will require that all undergraduate students complete the Saint Louis University Core, an integrated intellectual experience completed by all baccalaureate students at SLU, regardless of major, program, college, school or campus. In recognition of the important contributions our undergraduate students make to shaping the SLU experience for future students, the University Undergraduate Core Committee (UUCC) invites current SLU undergraduates to apply for one of three open Undergraduate Core Curricular Fellowships.
Students identified as Core Curricular Fellows will serve one-year terms on one of the UUCC’s eight Core Curricular Subcommittees, where they will assist in the review of courses submitted to count for the Core. Working in collaboration with the faculty members populating each subcommittee, and formally mentored by the Chair of their subcommittee, Undergraduate Core Curricular Fellows will gain rich, multidimensional insight into course and curricular design in higher education. The three open Core subcommittees are:
-
Ignite Seminar
-
Eloquentia Perfecta 1: Written and Visual Communication
-
Eloquentia Perfecta 2: Oral and Visual Communication and Creative Expression
Visit the Core website to learn more about these three areas. Please note: students are free to apply to more than one subcommittee; however, Core Curricular Fellows will serve on only one subcommittee.
Follow this link for the Call for Applications, within which you will find a link to the application form.
The deadline for applications is Monday, May 9. Appointments will be announced by May 18, 2022. The fellowship is held from August 2022—May 2023.
