Diane and Gary Tooker Professors Program
The Tooker Professor program is established in the Fulton Schools to recognize and encourage innovation in our academic mission.
Proposals for this program should support innovations:
- That lead to increased retention and persistence of undergraduate students within the Fulton Schools.
- In course delivery at any level that lead to more rewarding experiences for both students and faculty, particularly those approaches built around the range of learning modes of our students and that can be generalized to all disciplines and scaled to larger class sizes.
- That lead to increasing undergraduate diversity including first generation students and veterans.
- That lead to future-looking degree programs, with more multidisciplinary learning and competitive résumé-building opportunities.
- In other topics that clearly lead to increased retention, persistence, learning comprehension, student diversity, student competitiveness in the job market and positive external recognition of our academic programs.
All Fulton Schools of Engineering faculty are eligible to apply. Proposals are reviewed by a panel who submits recommendations to the Dean.
