Our Mission
The mission of the Provost’s Teaching Fellows program is to serve and enhance the educational mission of UT Austin through innovation in individual initiatives, university-wide programs, and a cross-campus community of educators.
Who We Are
Provost's Teaching Fellows at UT Austin are dedicated faculty from diverse disciplines and ranks, working to enhance teaching and campus culture. The program includes members of three types: Teaching Fellows focusing on individual initiatives, Senior Fellows offering mentorship, and Alumni Fellows supporting ongoing activities. Together, they foster collaboration and innovation in education, striving for excellence and professionalism over a multi-year cycle to improve student learning. Our program is housed in the Office of Faculty Affairs facilitated by the Associate Director for Faculty Instructional Support and Development.
What We Do
Provost's Teaching Fellows engage with the campus teaching community in a variety of ways. Fellows spend their first two to three years focusing on their independent initiatives and dedicate the remaining portion of their fellowship to peer mentorship and campus-wide PTF events.
