Join the Student Experience Project (SEP) — Become a Fellow

Every semester, small changes in how we teach ripple out into how students learn, persist, and succeed. The Student Experience Project (SEP) is UTA's faculty-driven community of practice built around exactly that idea: you don't have to overhaul your course to make a real difference — you just have to take one intentional, evidence-based step, and share what you learn along the way.

As a Fellow, you'll join a small committee of colleagues working on one of two focus areas, backed by research on growth mindset, wise feedback, and belonging. You'll pilot one strategy in your own course this semester, use real student data (via the Ascend survey) to see what's working, and walk away with practical tools you can reuse every semester after.

What you get:

Structured, supported space to try something new in your teaching — without figuring it out alone
Direct access to research-backed strategies and a shared resource bank built by faculty, for faculty
A documented service contribution (SEP provides a ready-to-use service statement for your annual review or promotion packet)
A genuine community of colleagues across departments who are tackling the same classroom challenges you are facing.

What it involves: (Note: These are fall 2026 days, upcoming semesters are TBD)

Attend the monthly General Assembly last Wednesday, 12–1pm, starting August 26
Choose one committee to join, meeting twice a month:
- Wise Feedback & Growth Mindset Committee - 1st & 3rd Fridays, 12–2pm, starting September 4
- Welcoming Environment & Syllabus Revision Committee - 1st & 3rd Thursdays, 12–2pm, starting September 3
- Department Ambassador Committee - 1st & 3rd Wednesdays, 10a-12p, starting September 2
Implement one SEP strategy in your course and reflect on the outcome with your committee

If that sounds like a lightweight, high-value way to grow as an instructor — and pick up a meaningful service line while you're at it — we'd love to have you.
