2024-25 Fellows

The Cheryl Wall Faculty Fellowships recognize full-time faculty who have demonstrated excellence in one or more of the following key areas: curricular redesign, scholarship and research, service, and/or leadership in innovation. This support includes, but is not limited to, the development and implementation of high-impact educational practices; curricular redesign intended to improve student access and success; service to the department, school, university, or community that exceeds the normal expectations for faculty; assignment to courses where increases to enrollment have demonstrably increased workload; and other extraordinary forms of service to students. The fellowships pay tribute to Dr. Cheryl Wall, who worked throughout her career to strengthen the university and support its mission of serving the people of New Jersey. These fellowships are available through a negotiated agreement between the university and the Rutgers AAUP-AFT.
