The Senior Teaching Fellows Program was first established in 1987 as a three-year grant through the U.S. Department of Education Fund. The goal of the fund was for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education (FIPSE). Since 1990, the UGA Center for Teaching and Learning has continued the Senior Teaching Fellows Program, offering senior faculty members an opportunity to share ideas, explore similar interests and challenges, and to continue supporting UGA values of teaching, research, and service excellence.
This year, CED has the honor of announcing one of their very own faculty, Professor David Spooner as one of the 2021-2022 recipients. Professor Spooner has taught numerous classes in the college ranging from design studio, design communication, and photography. With help from the grant portion of the fellowship and his experience, Professor Spooner plans to work on expanding access to digital drawing technology.
