Mission Integration Faculty Fellows
Mission Integration Faculty Fellows
The Vice President for Mission Integration and Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs invite interested faculty to consider participating in the Mission Integration (MI) Faculty Fellows program. MI Faculty Fellows are provided a leadership development opportunity by working with the Vice President for Mission Integration to support initiatives committed to advancing MI efforts at Molloy University.

Terms
MI Faculty Fellows serve one-year terms, with a one-course reduction (i.e., 3 hours of load) per academic year (September 15th to May 15th). Terms are renewable for an additional year based on progress toward goals and institutional needs. Schools with MI Faculty Fellows will receive funds as needed to cover the costs of courses where reassignments necessitate the use of part-time faculty. The Vice President for Mission Integration and the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs set MI Faculty Fellows projects and terms annually.
