Watt Family Innovation Center
A small group of Clemson faculty members have been chosen to spend the next year exploring the Watt Family Innovation Center’s unique capabilities in developing cross-disciplinary activities that support university-wide goals, thanks to the new Watt Faculty Fellows program.
Twenty Fellows were accepted into the inaugural cohort. They have been formed into teams and will collaborate throughout the academic year on projects aimed to enhance the Watt Center’s support for the University’s Clemson Forward strategic plan. Projects will focus on the general areas of:
- Cross-disciplinary, integrated teaching and research activities within the Watt Center, as well as throughout and beyond campus;
- Evidence-based, technology-enhanced learning that improves student learning and collaborations.
Fellows met for the first time during a one-day orientation on Thursday, Aug. 16. Individual groups will continue to meet on a monthly basis and each team will present their final project in late spring 2019.
