Shape the Future of Teaching & Learning at WFU

The CAT is excited to announce the pilot of a new Faculty in Residence Program, which will allow a WFU faculty member to join the CAT team as a full-time colleague. The initial appointment is for one year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year. This program is designed to leverage the expertise of WFU teacher-scholars to enrich our work, advance our mission, and expand our impact. It also provides the selected faculty member with dedicated time to focus on teaching and learning, while shaping the program for the benefit of future participants.

The inaugural Faculty in Residence will work closely with Dr. Anita McCauley, the CAT’s Director of Curriculum Development and Assessment, to extend the CAT’s support for department and university initiatives.

This is a full-time residency: the faculty member will teach one course per semester, with the remainder of their teaching load bought out by the CAT. As a full member of the team, the resident will contribute to all major areas of the CAT’s work, attend staff meetings, support strategic planning, and lead or co-lead programs aligned with their strengths and interests. The resident will also design and implement a project that advances teaching and learning at Wake Forest, culminating in a presentation to internal or external audiences.

Applications are due October 15, 2025, and the residency will begin in May 2026. We invite you to learn more and consider applying at the link below.

The Center for the Advancement of Teaching aims to advance passionate, reflective, and evidence-informed teaching. We contribute to Wake Forest’s distinctive mission by encouraging the development of teacher-student relationships that prepare all students to live examined, purposeful lives.
