Application deadline Jan. 29 for advanced study fellowships

     Provost R. Byron Pipes has announced the continuation of the
University's Center for Advanced Study, which supports three full
professors each year for either teaching or research, with at least two of
the fellowships for research.
     Research fellowships are available to senior faculty with outstanding
scholarly credentials whose research requires their concentrated attention
for one year, or where there is a special advantage to the University,
state or region.
     Teaching fellowships are intended to permit senior faculty to dedicate
themselves for a specified period- usually one semester-to making
improvements in the methods and quality of teaching. Fellows are expected
to conduct demonstration classes and seminars, hold public lectures,
counsel other faculty and engage in related activities that will enhance
teaching effectiveness. Applications will be judged for their potential
impact on the quality of instruction at the University.
     The fellowship program will be administered by the Chairs' Caucus. An
advisory committee, composed of five former fellows representing diverse
disciplines, will make recommendations to the provost, who will make the
final selections.
     Each application is limited to 1,000 words and should be accompanied
by a letter of endorsement from the applicant's chairperson. Six copies
should be submitted to: John D. Meakin, Convener, Chairs' Caucus,
Department of Mechanical Engineering.
     The deadline for receipt of applications is Jan. 29.
