Jennifer Bragger, Psychology: Soaring with Collaborative Service-Oriented Development and Design Thinking: A Needs Analysis to Redesign the Leadership Development and Civic Engagement Minor
Dr. Bragger seeks to redesign the Leadership Development and Civic Engagement Minor to better align the learning and experiences within the minor with student preferences, organizational needs, and the strategic direction of Montclair. Through redesigning the minor, Montclair can be uniquely positioned to lead the charge of developing students to lead through serving others in their community. HEAL Proposal 2023 – J Bragger
Blanca Vega, Educational Leadership: Toward an Equity Minded Faculty Development Model
Dr. Vega will use this fellowship to explore, develop, and implement a set of initiatives that would inform an equity-minded faculty development cycle model by drawing on research and practices advocated for by Gina Garcia and others and encapsulated by the phrase “servingness” to include a set of organizational practices that move HSIs away from simply enrolling Latine students to supporting them (Garcia et al., 2019). These indicators and structures (Garcia et al., 2019). Within this model, faculty development is an important structure to consider as Montclair State strives to enact critical and sustained support for all its students. My goal is to enact servingness by providing support to faculty throughout their development cycle with knowledge, skills, and dispositions in equity-mindedness.
