Dear Colleagues,

RIEEE is excited to announce a new opportunity for faculty at Appalachian State University, the Cloud Analytics Faculty Fellows Program (CAFF)!

Applications due: Tuesday, February 10, 2026
SCORE Virtual Info Session: Monday, January 26, 2026, 1:00 - 2:00 PM - Register here.

Funded by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and delivered in partnership with the High Technology Foundation (HTF) and peer institutions, the CAFF program supports faculty in designing innovative classroom experiences that integrate:
  • NOAA weather and climate datasets
  • Modern cloud computing tools
  • Entrepreneurial thinking and real-world use cases
Five faculty fellows will be selected for the 2026–27 cohort and receive support to revise and implement a classroom activity or assignment. ARC funding will support two cohorts at Appalachian State.  Faculty from all disciplines are welcome, and no prior experience with cloud tools or entrepreneurship is required - this program is designed to build your capacity with hands-on support.  See full program details and application instructions here, and join us at the SCORE Info Session to learn more.

Thank you,
Grace
