Faculty Fellowship Opportunities
The Center for Ancient Studies and Archaeology (CASA) at Willamette University has made it its mission to promote scholarly research that enhances our knowledge, appreciation, and enjoyment of ancient cultures. CASA Faculty Fellowships support and encourage active scholarship and continuing professional development. Through this program CASA affirms that research, enhancement of teaching, and other forms of continuing professional development are essential for sustaining the vitality of the university's curricula in classical studies, promoting its academic reputation, and contributing to the body of knowledge in disciplines, professions, and interdisciplinary fields of study devoted to ancient studies. The program provides funding for projects selected through a competitive review process and awards will be up to $4,000.
CASA Faculty Awards Program
The CASA Faculty Awards Program supports three types of new or emerging professional activity: (1) Research and Scholarship Projects -- Faculty can use the research and scholarship grant to support research, scholarly publication, and artistic activity that fall outside the realm of classroom teaching; (2) Professional Development Projects -- Awards for professional enhancement allow faculty to expand competence within their current specialization or to obtain training in a new area or field, and; (3) Teaching Improvement Projects -- These awards support the development and improvement of teaching approaches, techniques, and methods.
